I'm not sure how redistribution of wealth in case of a financial crisis counts as "absolution" from the ECB--if your 1000 person firm causes a 5000 Euro per capita loss in the money supply, your company is busted and everyone there ends up with 5 million Euros combined, which is small money by finance company/bank standards. It's not that much of a change from existing practice--all central banks defend their money supply to some extent. The only difference is that they would do so through every citizen in every country where the currency is official instead of only major banks, so the money actually gets spent instead of being hoarded and banks can't make massive profits through monetary arbitrage.
I'd love to see your sources on that, because everything I've seen says otherwise.

From 2013, but I'm not finding anything more recent:

"In 2012, newspapers lost $16 in print ads for every $1 earned in digital ads." A trend that's getting worse -- it had been 10:1 in 2011, according to Pew Research.

Similarly, also 2013:

The latter shows a plot of ads revenues from 1950 forward, showing it falling of a cliff in 2005. Online hasn't made a whit of a difference.

Instagram has ads?
big subject, and i m likely to start civil war with other greeks here. Certainly its better somewhere with an airport (preferably international). Salonica can be great, or some island. I am biased, but Crete is usually loved by visitors and expats.
Don't assume that you have an industry-standard application process

Most companies around these parts use similar services for resume intake, and those that don't seem to use email.

For the former, I haven't seen a resume handling service that doesn't have a "Cover Letter" text field, so if we can stipulate that those are common enough, why would an applicant leave it blank?

For the email case, it's a bit cold and impersonal to send an email with a resume attachment or URL with only whatever few words are necessary to keep your email client from popping up a warning questioning whether you really want to send an empty email.
Wait, this is weird. The SEC development branch chief is posting this on behalf of the contractor performing the role? Why?

Jordan, why isn't Aretec posting this one? They should be the ones trying to staff the roles if they own the contract, no? I say this because seeing the government overseer doing the contractor's job doesn't breed faith in the contracting org.
Safari is following in the iTunes and Preview in the "what's wrong with this once pretty decent piece of software??" thing

Among web devs Safari is considered "the new IE" (which among web devs is probably the lowest insult)

TL;DR avoid Safari. It's rubbish.
Well maybe if internet ads were regulated like that, we wouldn't have this war over them the way we do now. Regulation like that likely would have prevented many of the abuses that drove people to invent ad-blockers, and so many people to install them: pop-ups, pop-unders, opening new pop-ups when you close one, flashing colors, auto-playing video ads, penis pill ads, ads with sound, ads with malware, etc.
There isn't a central blockchain either.
lol, thanks, I needed a laugh. Cynical but there's probably something to it.

Yeah and you are subsidizing places that cost more to ship to, and depending on the average basket size of the shop you are likely paying for shipping for each item individually. Often shipping rates include a flat per package fee with a smaller weight component, so a real rate for multiple items would be much cheaper than the combined built in.

Still as a psychological thing I think customers just prefer to see free and don't think too much about how it could be costing them more. Most of our shipping is free because it seems to give better results, even if the customer ends up paying more in some cases.
I love using VIM to edit, but stuff like the following makes it hard for me to resist switching.

"ATA makes typings files almost invisible. A TypeScript language server that has ATA enabled watches your package.json files and automatically installs the typings files of all dependencies in a cache on your file system. It does the same when it finds references to well known client-side libraries. When you then invoke IntelliSense, the TypeScript server uses the typings files in the cache."

Yes, that is also a blockchain.
It seems the code uses `event.key` (which returns a human-readable string, e.g. "ArrowLeft"). `event.key` is not supported in WebKit.
> I didn't practice for them, I just have strong foundations in CS.

Perhaps my take on things is different since my degrees are in math, so I don't have a bunch of 'canned' algorithms stored in my head, and so in a whiteboard would come up with my own technique, even for possibly basic things like trees / sorting.
Sad. I tried to modify elementary OS entry in italian wikipedia for this (and... it is not open software, but 'free' if it is distribuited via GPL...).

I feel Ubuntu could have been there if they had continued their effort to create a rock-solid Gnome 2 experience instead of starting to copy Mac for no good reason (dock, window decorations, alt-tab handling etc).

Now Ubuntu has lost a few years of development time and what once made a hardcode KDE fan like Gnome now feels completely alien to the point where I have stopped even testing the LTS releases.
Statistically, you will not invest in one.
Ah haha this is too funny, I just this morning caved from trying to have a functioning version of Ubuntu on the macbook work gave me, booted back into OSX, and spent a good 30 minutes scrolling through the VSCode keyboard shortcuts JSON, writing down the ones I was interested in relearning on post-its and lining them around my monitor.

And not four hours later they release a pretty little printable PDF.

Not very on topic but I hope some of you can at least get a hoot from my misery.
We always called it a fishing expedition.

> since people browse YouTube in a similar way, and would also benefit from them.

I'd be very surprised if people browse Youtube in the way they'd browse Pornhub. I can't say I spend much (any) time on the latter, but if I did I would search whatever thing I'm in the mood for, click on a thumbnail I like the look of, skip around the video till there's something I like, then spend the required amount of time watching before closing Pornhub completely.

On Youtube I could spend hours just clicking and watching (and listening to) videos about many different things.

> Porn innovates simply because it's a big market, with high competition.

Sorry, but it doesn't innovate. Just saying it innovates (in any real, significant sense) doesn't make it true.

There is also no "high competition". The company that owns PornHub is in fact well-known for owning virtually all major (non-webcam) porn websites, free and pay.

Aside from them and a couple of other major sites, most porn sites are tiny and generate relative chickenfeed in revenue.

You only have to go to the site GFY to see the laughable state of most of the porn 'industry'.

> According to Alexa, there are 4 video streaming sites in the top 100 sites worldwide. They are YouTube, Pornhub, Xvideos, and Xhamster.

There's also VK, Youku, OK RU, Twitch, Netflix. Maybe others. This is ignoring Facebook, with its billion+ members uploading and viewing videos constantly.

> VR is new technology on the way. Which sites do you think are going to be pushing VR streaming online?

Google and Facebook.

> I'm not trying to say that porn is some golden goose industry that drives the world forward. I'm simply saying they're a big part of video streaming online, and for that reason I expect them to be on the forefront of that niche.

Porn was a similarly "big" part of video offline, and images online, and was not responsible for any technological innovations at all in either of those realms - simply passively using whatever tech or gimmick others had come up with - so I don't expect online video streaming will be any different.
It's a pretty meaningless number, they don't really pay that much in taxes. Their stock based compensation is artificially inflating it and that also explains the wild differences between quarters.

http://qz.com/142032/why-is-facebooks-tax-rate-so-much-highe...

> Facebook pays its staff with stock options, and thanks to a quirk of tax law, Facebook end up with large costs that can be deducted later. The company issues options to executives and records their a rough estimate of their value in its earnings report. When the options are exercised and the executives purchase the stock, it has often increased in value beyond that estimate—and the company can deduct that new, higher value, even though it didn’t cost it any real cash.
> Plasma Mobile is developed by one of the most reputable and longest-standing software development organisations in the world.

But you don't want to clearly tell us who it is?
I don't how the "less processing" argument works. In your version, parsing a value also requires additional work - there's a whole { } to go through.
Wow, never realized that! This is something that you should have to opt-in to, not opt-out.
I'm curious - are you comparing Facebook, the company with nearly 5 years of success as a public company based on strategic decisions, to someone who wins a random chance lottery?
> For much of Western human existence, families could own, inherit, and stay in one place for generations.

...if they weren't expropriated by their overlords, driven off by war/disease/famine/poverty, etc. Staying in one region was common, but having the same house for generations on end was still an exception.

Besides, moving every 30 years or so is hardly migratory.

So they made a screencast and blended it with a video of a hand touching a phone to avoid shadows and improve image quality. Is that really your takeaway from the article?
Although negotiation skills may not be valuable to you, I'd like to point out that negotiating can be a valuable skill for a developer.

I frequently negotiate with clients over requirements and implementation details. I can save a lot of development effort by negotiating away a detail that ramps up the complexity of a feature significantly. Often the client doesn't place much value on the particular detail that makes my job a lot more difficult, and is quite willing to accept the alternate approach I propose.

Some developers don't even try to negotiate that sort of thing, and end up doing a lot of work that doesn't provide much value to the client.
Visual Studio Code really shines on Mac and Linux where there is no VS2015 available
Android makes a ton of money for Google because for every Android phone, that's one more user they don't have to pay to have their default search engine be google.

Take a look at the Oracle case - Google pays billions of dollars a year to Apple to have their search on iPhones. And it's not a flat fee, it's a percentage of revenue.

Facebook doesn't have this problem because there is no other social network. Search engines don't really have network effects, facebook does.
I understand that, and I certainly understand that these (any?) projects shouldn't cater to me (I'm not representative of the market at large).

What I'm hoping for is some sort of 'reference device' (i.e. the Flame for FxOs) that is supported across platforms. It doesn't matter if it's ~older~ (Nexus 4?), just a way to compare platforms against each other: Run Ubuntu Phone, Plasma Mobile and CM on the same device (not at the same time ofc), check out if your use cases are supported/the platform can do what you need. Keep whatever is best, retry in 6 month. That'd be awesome.
Tons of them, in between posts, and they're fairly well targeted.
1. Seeing as we have never made a computer able to be conscious, or hear/see/smell/touch as good as us, or reach the same power-efficiency I'd say there is an absolutely an enormous amount we still don't know.

2. Life started off as the smallest thing possible (atom/quark/something smaller) and grew upward into cells, then multi cellular and so on. All the while being present in the natural world and getting feedback from the best test environment there is. In comparison our computers started off as bricks, and over time we've slowly shrunk them down to what we consider small. But we still have nothing on evolution.

3. The unknown can often appear like magic, but as the rise of neural networks in computing has shown, we are ever so slowly unraveling the secrets of the brain. Image recognition has come a long way compared to 10 years ago, and the techniques that are working in machine learning now are changing the way neuro-scientists interpret the structure of the brain.
Desktop revenue is growing too. Just not at the same rate as mobile. They have not ignored their desktop platform, in fact, the ad product is still designed for creating desktop ads, while they offer lots of tips and tools for optimizing them for mobile.
There was no "hence salary" part. The salary back-estimation was very rough, e.g. for my income the estimation by a popular calculator was off by 25%. Using past tense here because anonymous access to tax data is discontinued.

You could tell if someone was poor or rich based on that, but for comparing incomes in your cohort it was not very useful.
Legislators have to take what they can get -- it's the nature of politics because you have two groups who disagree, going back and forth until they reach some solution the other guy hates, but will accept.

Creating a department that has full authority to regulate a matter is the best way to get in effective laws. But then the laws get too effective and lobbyists have to then push to have their power reduced.

The biggest thing for me has been the consistency. They already had an amazing IDE (Visual Studio), then they buckled down and made an amazing paired-down version (VSCode). It works well, does all the things I'd want and then some.

Compare to Google releasing a chat client / message handler (google voice app), another one (hangouts), taking away functionality (removing shared sms/hangouts convos), then releasing two more chat apps (allo/duo). Or countless other occasions they've done this.

I was just thinking today after yesterday's HN thread on the new Macbook and "everything wrong with it." People were complaining that nobody can really match the build quality of Apple, which is a shame because it'd be great to have a windows / linux device with high build quality (that isn't hacky). Imagine if Microsoft put their weight behind manufacturing a dope laptop like Google has been trying to do with the Pixel phone?
The whole market is down, which impacts them.
I bought a MBP a few months ago because I was travelling to the UK and the low pound made it a no brainer (I saved 350€) but part of me was annoying at missing out on the latest version that was about to be released.

It looks like I dodged a bullet; in 4-5 years, when I'll need an upgrade, all these issues will be solved, USB-C will either have become standard or gone firewire's way, the pointless emoji board will be quietly shelved, more RAM will be possible, etc
Crazy or not, the fact that he brings up testable hypothesis is reason enough for further study.
I didn't defend it. I said that, in the real world we actually live in, that's the way it goes. Actions have consequences. Ignoring that, and then claiming "It's not right!" when the consequences hit... that's not very wise.
In Australia it is pretty easy to get a feel for what low volume retailers are paying, eBay sellers will usually charge about $7 for an auspost parcel under 500g. A little above the rate for sending to the same capital city or other major cities, below the rate of seinding the most other places.

So a retailer with a bulk discount can probably get away with that rate, much higher than around $8 though and people would know it isn't a real rate.
That is an interesting point. I had not made that distinction, and didn't really realize that was my MO. Maybe there's a rule to be conjectured there about praising actions instead of people.

Insightful. Good job :)
Ah, Thanks - I see now the shortcut is [Alt-click] as opposed to [Cmd-click] in the other two editors. I just didn't dig around enough to find the right key combination. But I guess this shows how ingrained muscle memory and habits are hard to change, and why certain editors remain people's favourites.

Right. IMHO, a lot of the reason that alternative devices, from smartphones to games consoles, took off was they solved the biggest long-standing headache for Windows users: they just wanted to get and use software to do things, not to worry about installing and configuring and updating that software or potential difficulties with removing it or how it interacted with other software.
Exactly. A good hire will add thousands of hours of productivity. A bad hire can be negatively productive, either personally, by harming team performance, or by driving off productive people. Trying to minimize team-minutes spent per candidate on late-stage interviews is a false economy.

In practice, I don't try to get absolutely every team member involved, just a quorum. If everybody wants to have a say, that's fine by me, but often once you get past 3 participants somebody will say, "Oh, whatever you folks think is fine by me."
I'm not sure how this responds to my comment? All I said was that "free shipping" is exactly the same thing as saying "I estimate that shipping is generally below $X, but if it turns out to cost more, I will eat that cost".

Without a doubt that stat is because these companies have grown so fast. It's not that people leave after a year, it's that they have added tons of engineers in the last year (and have done so repeatedly for the last few years).

I worked at Google. Turnover was really low. 10 year average stay doesn't sound unreasonable for me if you select only the employees that have left.
