My first job was at an investment bank. I was taught very early on that I needed to watch what I said in my emails. I'm not sure if it was true or not, but someone told me that every month, someone from compliance looked over a random selection of my emails and my manager would have been informed if they found something wrong.

What everyone on Wall Street appreciates is that your emails are a permanent record and should be treated accordingly. When there's a real risk that your emails will later turn up in court, you are gonna be a lot more careful about what you say. Even things that seem innocuous when you write them may not look good if they come under the spotlight later (something like "Hey John, the code in that repo looks messy..." may come back to bite you if it turns up in court). So I was taught to always keep to facts in emails rather than opinions ("this data set has 246 invalid phone numbers and 20 fake email addresses" is a fact... "this data looks messy" is an opinion subject to all sorts of interpretation later).

You might think that there's nothing that you have to hide. If that's true, then by all means, say what you want in your _personal_ email. But when you are using your company email, remember that you don't have many rights to privacy there and so treat it accordingly.

Company 1 wanted me for a remote position, but wanted to pay me about half my market rate.

Is it possible to get anywhere close to a Silicon Valley salary on a remote position?
About 18 months ago I posted on "Who wants to be hired?" and saw that Realm was looking for people in the monthly "Who's hiring" thread. I think it was Tim ('ello mate, hope you got the bucket picture) who posted those on HN back then.

I reached out to them, alongside a number of other startups that were interested in remote workers or had an office in Copenhagen (my SO and I wanted to move there from southern France). I got to the final stages of interviewing with a handful of companies before choosing Realm.

I initially applied for an engineer position on their C++ backend database, but was offered a team lead position. I'm currently leading the Realm Object Server team in Copenhagen.

We're always looking for great people around the globe, either remote, or through relocation packages.

Yep - I was lucky enough to be hired by The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com) :)

Oh, and we're still hiring! Happy to help if you have questions, or want to be referred. All positions are in London, UK.
That someone usually is the product manager.
At least today they could have used yet another kernel for this. That would hurd more.
I never said you shouldn't care. But it seems you ass-umed that I said as much. But go ahead, pretend I did say that and fantasize you're the only person that's worried about the state of the world. I'll just be here popping my popcorn to see who else smacks you upside the head for your pearl clutching performity. ;)
Please don't allow a few toxic loudmouths to create your opinion on an entire community of people.
A good, but insufficient way to grant equity to employees. The fact is in 2016, startup founders take considerably less risk than they did a decade ago. You can go from idea to revenue in days, with essentially no cost upfront. If you hire me weeks or months later as employee 1, and I'm delivering 20% of the revenue, but as a first employee I get 2-5%, this will piss me off, and it should piss off every early-stage employee who works for tenths or hundreds of one percent. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how we can make institutional changes to ensure that the wealth is spread out a bit more, but it's something I will consider when I start my own company some day.
List of Super Mario 64 glitches
I stop visiting websites that prevent me from seeing any content if I'm using an ad blocker. Wired, for example. I was never an avid reader of Wired but they do publish some interesting content and I would find myself reading maybe three or four articles a month. Since they made it clear that people blocking ads are no longer welcome on their site I stopped clicking on Wired links.

I know there are ways around such blocks but I don't bother using them. If a site prevents me from seeing its content if im blocking ads I close the page and make a mental note to not click on links to that site anymore.
A few more thoughts came to mind.

Firstly when I was in the city, I didn't track my expenditure but would say I was spending more. This was in part because of a smaller kitchen and fridge. Because of the smaller kitchen there was less space to get items in bulk. The fridge didn't allow much meal prep. I'm the type to usually devote one day to cooking out of the week. But at the same time, I cooked more often due to convenience.

Secondly I feel like food prices are going up. My diet was very simple meat, produce, yogurt, protein powder. Those prices have stayed relatively flat. But when I started shopping for my girlfriend. It seemed like bread, soda, chips, etc. had gone up. I almost had sticker shock, when I went to get soda.

I'm also curious about the ramifications of living space. The millenial is often slated to be living in more urban areas. Where the kitchens often are not the best. I'm not asking for a Viking or Subzero range, but less than 10 minutes to boil water would be nice.

My apartment in the city had a Kenmore induction range. A piece of chicken on that took about 6 minutes to cook. My kenmore gas range at my house took 2 minutes to cook chicken. The cooking process was much quicker.

A number of my friends also don't know how to really cook. I'm not trying to be mean, but we're also seeing a proliferation of meal in a box busineses. That ship recipes to you. Is it ease of delivery, or ease of preparation? It was pretty much jumping into the deep end when I learned about my food allergies. Learning how to really cook, then figuring out how to substitute items.

Taking this back a step. I grew up with tv dinners, around the weeknight sitcom. I know alot of people who grew up this way. A shift from family dinner, where at X time dinner was on the table and the family gathered around. Is there also an underlying shift to eat and be entertained?
Donald Trump is also said not to use email. I think he said "I'm smart. I don't use email.".
Ugh.

If you want to do something like this right, the way to do it is the way Data General wanted to do it when IBM, then the 800-pound gorilla of the computer world, entered into DG's minicomputer market. (Which is described in Tracy Kidder's classic book The Soul of a New Machine (https://www.amazon.com/Soul-New-Machine-Tracy-Kidder/dp/0316...)

The ad they proposed was much simpler -- a full page that said only the following:

They say IBM's entry into minicomputers will legitimize the market.

The bastards say, welcome.
I got hired at Twitter(pre-IPO) through the monthly Who's Hiring post. Definitely the best outcome from multiple povs - career, money, learning, future-proofing. I would literally not be able to do what I am doing today if I hadn't clicked on that HN Who's Hiring thread & taken a chance.

Yes, directly. The site we run had free shipping at first.

But for our given store, for the vast majority of our orders, the shipping costs come out the same. And from my experience, there's a huge difference in customer behavior between free and flat shipping.

So, it really depends upon which part of the article you want to talk about. Brick & mortar vs internet stores? Well, the cost of shipping that isn't paid by the customer is very small for our site. At our current sales volume, it would probably be less than the cost of renting commercial space.

Obviously, this may not apply to everyone.
As for me, Ada is an excellent language for safety applications but too much under control of a single company.

GNAT is open source, that's fine. However, despite this fact it is almost impossible for someone to write a new Ada compiler, or a transpiler from a modern syntax to classical Ada because there is no complete BNF grammar out there. I honestly planned to write such such a transpiler but it didn't work out because I lacked a fully specified BNF grammar. I complained about that in an Ada forum, and the insiders there confirmed that there actually is no downloadable BNF. There is just a BNF for Ada 95 which is pretty outdated.

So, if I wanted to get the full BNF for Ada 2012+ I would have to dive into all the Ada Reference Manual and Rationals to scratch a suitable grammar together. That's way too much effort for me.

Possibly. Modern delivery allows you to choose low-packaging options, and in cities is mostly delivered by electric bicycle. Also one big kitchen serving 100 meals is certainly more efficient than a hundred or so small ones.
Tangled Up in Spacetime
I agree with you that critical thinking is important. The point of my post is not to say "don't think critically" but rather to draw attention to how if you pursue status in a hierarchical organisation, then you need to accept that you're making a sacrifice. If you accept this fact, then you can better weigh a balance between your personal goals and the easiest path to attain status.
That's the nature of advertising. They bombard everyone with their shit and some people buy it.

I got hired from a "want to be hired" type post, not replying to a company listing.

I was hired recently as a product designer, and my understanding is that the CTO saw me in a thread and passed me on to the design team. Overall, a great experience, because I was talking to real people from the jump, rather than going through a recruiter/web form layer in the beginning.

I've gotten many other inquiries from similar postings, but few were of interest. In general though, the answer to the question "do people respond to the postings" is a strong yes.

The freelancing section is a different story. I've only gotten one serious lead ever from that, and he dropped off shortly after in search of cheaper labor. So it goes.

I'm sure their volume drives deep discounts.

Their scale also allows them to have multiple warehouses spread across the US, avoiding high cost / long distance shipping of individual items.

They have other levers as well. For example, they cap what third-party listings on Amazon can charge for shipping...often the cap is lower than the actual shipping cost.

If everyone thought like you, then I might be forced to guarantee my business's survival by assuming the worst of every user - that instead of using a web browser, they're sucking down my content using a bespoke client that strips out all of the advertisements that I get my revenue from.

My response could be to stop using web protocols and force my users to consume my content using my own thick client.

That might be economical for me.

It would be if my site offered tomorrow's stock prices.

It wouldn't be if my site streams home renovation tips.

So if your assertion is correct, it would result in the decimation of large parts of the internet - which seems unlikely.
Only if you trust your platform devs to get it right. On Linux that's probably a good bet (and on FreeBSD it's probably an even better bet). But on MacOS or Windows? There's no way to tell whether a CSPRNG has been compromised by looking at its output, so you don't have to put on a very thick tinfoil hat to believe that the probability that these might be compromised somehow is greater than zero, in which case knowing how to roll your own CSPRNG can be very handy. At the very least, knowing these things can help you detect snake oil (like the "measured performance" at http://moonbaseotago.com/onerng/theory.html)
Mac-On-Linux ran a complete copy of Macos, so it's not really the same thing
MoL ran the entire MacOS (9 or X) in an X window or VT, making it a full virtualization layer like VMware or VirtualBox.
This is a binary loader/API translation layer/reimplementation, like Wine.
Their web server can just as easily send a 401 if you haven't logged in with your account after paying for access. They don't have to give you a 200 when you GET /. Nothing is forcing them to give your browser the OK just because your browser requested their site.

I still don't get it after reading the article. Although to be honest, I don't want a 5 year old explanation. I want a technical breakdown of how blockchain technology works without any mention of bitcoin or currency or mining. I feel like Bitcoins really cloud my understanding of it and narrows it down to a subset of its use cases. Really I want to understand better how it can be used as a distributed P2P database of transactions and how exactly it has security and history built in. Anyone have resources? Everything I find seems to have only fin-tech in mind.
Isn't it enough that it makes it more difficult than necessary to compare the various offerings in the field (PVS-Studio, Coverity, Klocwork, etc.)?

Is there seriously sufficient competitive advantage to stopping casual consideration of the value proposition? Because the competitors can more than likely pry a quote out of a sales representative.

1 year at @WalmartLabs as SDE, now working on startup. Comfortable with DS, algo, basic ML, stats etc. Firm believer in TDD. Prefer backend/full-stack work.

Recent Projects:

- Cost based sourcing(params include distance, day delay, man power available, item available etc) algorithm to decide the best DC for ship-to-home orders, 95% test coverage, in use by SAMS club right now

- Indoclinic(www.indoclinic.com)- sole dev, made doctor-patient booking site. Patients can see doctor available times, book appointment, pay online, video chat /message with doc at that time, buy medicines etc. Django based.

- Sphinx facebook bot (https://www.facebook.com/sphinxchatbot/) : Vocab builder
Someone is already working on a reverse free shipping. Like "everything a $1"

E.g. pay $15 and fill your up your cart. Choose from thousands of items. Each combo has a value, of course. Shipping free.

Have third parties pay to place produce samples inside your boxes. Like Bill messages of the past
They wouldn't do it now because they're not the underdog. When you're big, you try to look small. When you're small, you try to look big.
The advantage is long-term at the level of the ecosystem. You can leverage the world's largest developer pool and ride the coattails of major corporations.

Qt, GTK, and other desktop techs are "weird" little tiny niche skills to acquire, and since desktop dev in general is lower priority these days they're going to be rare. HTML5+CSS+JS with a stack based on React or Ember will draw tons of dev talent.

For consistent look and feel the environment could standardize on a single set of CSS themes (maybe a fork of bootstrap) and a "recommended" UI toolkit (I'd recommend React). Use of other CSS or other UI toolkits is okay, but if you do you're strongly recommended to hold to the style guidelines.

Those style guidelines could in turn be informed by things like Atom, Visual Studio Code, Slack's desktop app, etc.
Not to say it won't happen, but which fresh set of users would Microsoft bring? Who do you know that isn't on LinkedIn (registered, if not actively using)? And of those people, what features do you think would make them want to start using LinkedIn?
Your comment is a little ambiguous--- we've built modern-day catamarans that can definitely sail upwind. I think you're saying that the catamarans that Polynesians have built were never able to go up wind.
The worst part of this is that memorizing passphrases is far easier than passwords. Compare:

to

P@ssw0rd

The latter is harder to memorize (what letters did I substitute with symbols again?) and far easier to crack.

I suspect until regulators make people use encrypted email we'll keep using plain-text.

Good points. There are only a few places in the world which have coal and iron near each other. That's needed to get an iron and steel culture going. Once it's going, you have rails, ships and steam to move raw materials long distances, but to get started, they have to be close.
What do you mean you don't trust them? The need the salary information only to sell to recruiters and companies. Any other value proposition they might come up with is purely bogus.
Confirmation bias? How do you know those companies were actually responding to your cover letters, and not your other strengths? Do you have evidence that if you'd sent out no cover letters (or a single sentence copy and paste job), that you wouldn't have gotten the same response rate?
