The parallel definitely holds for the event described in the article. The participants are exploring their own limits, and trying to push past them.

The documentary "The Barkley Marathons" on Netflix explores the mentality of these athletes through conversations with the runners, and (IMO) does a much better job of describing the activity. The article paints them as circus freaks, while the documentary explores the way they think.
You can adapt your training of an ML model to defend against these attacks. The paper even mentions that they will investigate this in the conclusion.
> whatever risk-adverse reason aren't looking for a cofounder type role

Or can't get it - because they don't have the idea to be a cofounder, or don't have the experience to be a CTO. And to address your comment in the higher tier, I never said the salary had to be competitive - in fact when I was a first employee my salary was cut in half (and my salaary was not that high by any stretch beforehand), but my equity was in a few percentage points. So yes, my point stands, if it requires very little capital or risk to found a company, but it's vital that you hire help, I would expect that you give them meaningful equity, especially if they're doing a great deal of the effort and labor to get there. I don't think that's entitled, I think that's being fair to your employees who are busting their ass to make you rich.
If the proportion of companies that don't accept one-sentence cover letters is relatively small, then the cost of writing those cover letters (which can be significant) probably isn't worth it.
Everyone seems to either be hating it or hating the haters so far. But honestly I am not biting much on this.

I have a 2013 MBP and I don't see much better performance with this machine, and a lot of friction with the whole dongle thing. Apple went all the way with their dongle love when I just don't see the utility. I am literally only considering it because my computer is old so much that I fear of a hardware failure. With the price I am not really excited to do it.

The UK didn't really have mass shooting incidents all that frequently even before their bans. The only two I can think of are Hungerford and Dunblane, which were spaced out over nine years. Additionally, the vast majority of the incidents on that page are not mass shootings but instead the political "four people shot" == mass shooting. The two largest "mass shootings" on that list were acts of terrorism, as we saw in France terrorists don't even need firearms to kill scores of people.
> Its primary intended use is in cryptographic authentication contexts, particularly ones where JSON is used as a human-friendly alternative representation of data in a system which otherwise works natively in a binary format.

The author might care to take a look at canonical S-expressions, a format from the 90s which attempted to do the same thing for many of the same reasons, and has the advantage of being rather more elegant.

E.g:

{
"s:string":"s:Hello, world!",
"s:binary":"b64:SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxk",
"s:integer":"i:42",
"s:float":42.0,
"s:timestamp":"t:2016-11-02T02:07:30Z"
}

could be:

(string "Hello, world!"
binary [b]|SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxk|
integer [i]"42"
float [f]"42.0"
timestamp [t]"2016-11-02T02:07:30Z")

Which is a perfectly valid encoding, but can use the canonical encoding (useful for cryptographic hashes):

(6:string13:Hello, world!6:binary[1:b]13:Hello, world!7:integer[1:i]2:425:float[f]4:42.09:timestamp[1:t]20:2016-11-02T02:07:30Z)

Which can be encoded for transport as:

{KDY6c3RyaW5nMTM6SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkITY6YmluYXJ5WzE6Yl0xMzpIZWxsbywgd29ybGQhNzpp
bnRlZ2VyWzE6aV0yOjQyNTpmbG9hdFtmXTQ6NDIuMDk6dGltZXN0YW1wWzE6dF0yMDoyMDE2LTEx
LTAyVDAyOjA3OjMwWik=}

Granted, 'elegance' is in the eye of the beholder, but I like it.

I also think that there's a deeper concern with any shallow notion of types. An application doesn't care so much about 'some integer' as it does about 'a valid integer for this domain,' and that concern is what leads to schemas and profiles and things like that. Just encoding the machine type of a value is insufficient: one has to encode the domain type, which means conveying the domain, which means assuming some sort of shared knowledge.

The company is defunct now, but I still have a nostalgia of working with these guys and gals.

That's what I think is shady. The image gives you a feeling the surface is way thinner than macbook pro. But down below they mentioned the new macbook pro (with touch bar) in the chart. If people are not paying attention they can get mislead to think surface is way thinner than the new macbook pro right?
That's not correct -- Protocol buffers differ from both JSON and TJSON because the schema isn't part of the protocol.

That is, the information on the wire doesn't contain enough information to interpret the data -- the schema has to be compiled into or otherwise included in the binary to know what the data means. That's not the case with JSON or TJSON.
I wonder if anyone really cares about thinness.

How is an already super-thin laptop becoming 1mm thinner be better than having > 16MG of RAM?

I agree, why define a new format that is more verbose when you can just make it by convention at first and let parsers evolve. I probably wouldn't use : even in quotes to prevent confusion. Something like this seems safe and doesn't break anything:
{
"string$s":"Hello, world!",
"binary$b64:":"SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxk",
"integer$i":42,
"float$f":42.0,
"timestamp$t":"2016-11-02T02:07:30Z"
}

This makes it easy for the parser to determine if they should perform type checking. If you run this JSON through a non typed parser, you could easily strip out the $type yourself (until they evolve as well). Surely not perfect but gives you self describing data and ability to perform type checking if desired. $0.02

I'd get about 9-10 hours on a Macbook Pro simply lazily web browsing. This is theoretically reported battery life, however.

I never actually let it run down to 0. It's possible the last 10% would have vanished in 30 minutes instead of ~2 hours like it claimed.

I can certainly believe a Linux machine can get 14hrs. It's just a matter of having a bigger battery, and a processor that will step-down its speed when its not needed.

How to buy a $35,000 brand-new electric car for under $14,000
Start by just eating less meat and more "sides," like vegetables, at meals. If you eat a lot of overcooked ("Southern style") veggies as sides, expose yourself to stirfries, shishkebab, lightly grilled and other preparations that help preserve the nutrient value. Raw is also good. Learn to eat more fresh produce.

As you improve the nutrional value of the non meat items in your diet, meat will matter less to you.

Diet for a Small Planet is a good source of info. Protein complementarity can help satisfy your hunger. On the upside, most traditional vegetarian diets already practice that. She eventually concluded it isn't hard as her first edition made it sound. But it was useful to me to know some of the nutritional science behind it.

You do not necessarily need to go vegan. Cutting back on meat and eating cleaner meats (Kosher, grass fed, organic, etc) may resolve your health issue with less of a burden in terms of making extreme changes, trying to maintain it, etc.

Best.

Personal anecdote - I can confirm this as one recently deposed in a corporate lawsuit that I'm not even a party to. Email systems are awash with information that most people would never have expected to become public. You see all kinds of stuff in emails by employees: office gossip, embarrassing comments, foul language, snark about fellow employees and competitors and the company, non-work-related comms .... all of it subject to being twisted by opposition lawyers to try to bolster their case and which can end up verbatim in front of the eyes of a jury.

At least GRPC is a standard, JSON/REST is arguably more simple. But both are at least standard and allow teams to not reinvent everything and provide a baseline/plane for others to work on it.

Just stating most programmers would probably rather inherit a JSON/REST app over a GRPC one though it is quite nice.
It absolutely is, considering that 20% of the work has to be done, and if the employee isn't doing it, then the founder has to be doing it, taking time away from revenue producing activities.

First, I'll state the obvious: It's not an either-or.

Second, if you look at research on incentives, I think you'll find reducing everything to money tends to backfire, where people who used to go the extra mile in the past stopped doing so because they knew the amount of money they would get would be little.

Think of this scenario some of us have been in. A friend of mine who's big on cars insisted he change my oil for me. He insisted paying Jiffy Lube is a big ripoff. So he did the work, and then I tried giving him some money. He got very offended.

I needed to visit a city for some personal work for a few days, and stayed at a friend's place while there. I tried paying him a nominal amount for his hospitality. Result: He was offended.

However, in both cases, if I repay them by buying them coffee or a lunch, there would be no offense. From my perspective, the outcome is the same: I lose the same amount of money. But on their side, the response is drastically different.

I won't get into which approach is "correct" or "better". The reality is that, in most societies, including the US, the majority behaves this way.

Dan Ariely in one of his books talks about the research involving what he calls "social" vs "market" contracts. The former is usually non-financial, and often involves favors we do for friends. The latter is usually precise and monetary.

Now of course, it depends on the type of work you do, but for most salaried positions, it is a mistake to assume that only market contracts apply ("I do work, and I get paid for it"). What Dan Ariely's chapter shows, is that when companies do lean towards mostly market contracts, bad things happen: Poorer productivity, fractious work environments, etc.

Even if you're getting paid, there is a place for both types of contracts. If you're one of those who care only for the amount you get paid, you're definitely not someone our team wants to hire. I've seen this even within my company - one org takes care of both contracts, and another doesn't. I used to be in the latter and I'm glad I left for the former.

In my company, we have a tool where any employee can thank any other employee with a greeting card. The recipient's manager is notified. The "thanker" can attach company money to it (almost always do) - a nominal amount. Anything over about $30 needs to be approved, but anything under is provided without managerial approval - the company just provides a fund for this.

I think it works well, and in my department, we are frequently encouraged to thank others using the tool for both big and small things.

It doesn't impact your annual review at all. You still have the usual process to get a raise, promotion, etc.
I first read the title as "The $1,499,2016 MacBook Pro" and thought -- wow, things certainly have escalated in the world of Apple's premium pricing strategy.
Good to see that data cleaning was #1 on that list. Whenever I do work on a side project, it takes way way more time to get and structure the data than it does running the algorithms. Granted, that's because I have to go out and get the data in the first place, and then make sure it's useable and in the correct format.

Like the recent project I'm doing trying to classify country music songs based on their topic on the data blog I write on (https://bigishdata.com), the amount of time it's taking to scrape lyrics, remove duplicate / incorrect songs, and then do manual classification for training data is taking far longer than running the ml algorithms in the end one I've gone through that process.

I've been looking for jobs recently, and I've seen only one job posting that mentions data cleaning as a necessity, whereas the rest only talk about data science and algorithm knowledge, or overall ETL design on the data engineering side. Seems like data set knowledge should be emphasized more.

We have seen a lot of posts on HN regarding ad networks and ad blockers. Basically there are two arguments:
1) Allow ad networks, so we can compensate content creaters.
2) Block ad networks, because they track users, invade privacy and follow shady practices.

I would love to know your thoughts on how to solve this issue. How to create a trackerless ad network, that solves privacy issues. It should also allow anonymous stats for advertisers, and a good fee structure for content creaters. Lets solve this!

Technically the ECB threatens to stop providing emergency credit. That Greece has made itself completely dependent on emergency liquidity from the ECB is the country's own silly fault. Are ordinary Greeks to blame? Yes, they're responsible for the people they elect.

That said I don't think the current situation makes much sense. The odds are high that the debt will never be paid back and that Greece will never have a developed-country government. There have been some promising developments recently, but I'm sure we can all agree that Greece should never have been admitted to the Eurozone and maybe not even the EU.

[Disclaimer: I run http://Interviewkickstart.com]

Thanks Aline. Excellent article, as always.

Not that any interview process is perfect, but another reason why the current process is not going away, is sheer convenience, especially for the fast growing core tech companies that don't have a pipeline problem. When you have hundreds of people applying for any open role, and you're under pressure to deliver products quarter after quarter, your incentive is to stick to a process that gives reasonable results, fast enough.

e.g. Google has estimated 40K engineers. With a 10 year average time on job (it's probably less), G is hiring 40K engineers every 10 years just to sustain itself. That's a massive operation and the incentive of any company at that scale, is to design a multi-layer, fast process. They are looking for 40K engineers that pass that process, not necessarily 40k best engineers from their pipeline.

Considering diversity with that little attention span is possible, but very hard to do. And like you said, technology is possibly the only way diversity hiring can be encouraged/enforced.

For a web browser on this imaginary platform, see browser.html.

Regarding security, it seems like something like Servo on top of a capability system like seL4 or Robigalia could provide a lot of opportunity to enhance the client security of a web application.

Using wasm + WebGL (or whatever's in the pipeline for Vulkan) could make this easy to deploy creative applications.

Add IPFS into this mix, and we'll be able to deploy decentralized applications as easily as central-server applications.

I'd like to see better tooling for building UIs on the web before I could get fully behind this idea, but I agree that the web platform has been BY FAR the most successful GUI framework ever, and I say this as someone who works nearly exclusively on systems programming.
