I totally agree. If people want to gripe about high rent/COL or lack of public transit that is fine and legitimate. But complaining about lack of things to do just doesn't add up. You can go hiking in Marin or in the open space preserves on the peninsula. You can drink great beer at several breweries or go to Napa/Sonoma to wine taste. You can go skiing in Tahoe. You can go to Yosemite or Sequoia. You can ride your bike in the mountains/hills on the peninsula. You can go to several different beaches. There is a good restaurant scene (albeit expensive). There are NBA, NFL, and NHL teams if you are into sports. As someone who moved here from Illinois, I think the variety of things to do in the Bay Area is huge.
Uber does get to decide if they follow the law and not the DMV's interpretation of it.

Providing the vehicle required human monitoring the actions of the car, it isn't classed as an autonomous vehicle.. or do you disagree with my interpretation of the below?

(1) “Autonomous technology” means technology that has the capability to drive a vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring by a human operator.
(2) (A) “Autonomous vehicle” means any vehicle equipped with autonomous technology that has been integrated into that vehicle.

http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xh...

Providing the vehicle design still requires a human to be monitoring the car, it by my interpretation not an autonomous vehicle. Obviously, this will change in the future.. and then they will require a permit.
In fact there's a disincentive. eBay made their commission on this sale, changing their policies would likely mess with both the top and bottom lines of their business.
The real question is how hard is this permit to obtain? I'm also guessing the permit limits Uber from doing what they want completely.
Interesting. More context: http://annals.org/aim/article/2592772/scientific-misconduct-...

Can anybody form an idea of the motivations behind such open misconduct? It is always very puzzling when people from the science community (which you usually don't enter without being intelligent and idealistic) get into such clearly wrong behaviour.

Another case that left me very puzzled (and terrified, regarding how long he got a away with this without someone asking questions - he basically shaped a scientific field): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diederik_Stapel
>a very experienced lawyer found a loophole to convert my company into a PA C Corp.

This is a pretty standard business transaction called a conversion. As you found with dissolution of your PA LLC taking unexpectedly long, these transactions/processing times vary by not just transaction type but of course State too.

After conversion from PA LLC to PA C-Corp, did you end up Domesticating it to DE, because from the sound of it they wouldn't want to invest in any thing but? Some States are so backwards about processing times you might have been able to dissolve the PA C-Corp much faster than the LLC, but that is a little rarer.

Glad it worked out for you and to see a positive HN post about lawyers vs DIY.

That's what I do in most cases. But sometimes there's just no option.

The particular case that I was referring to when I said I decided to put off changes because I didn't want to bump the version number was actually a stylistic change, renaming a method from `parse(with:)` to `parse(using:)`, in order to better match the Swift 3 naming conventions. Normally I would have just marked the old method as deprecated, except a compiler bug means that if I do so, any code using trailing-closure syntax fails to compile (https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-3227). So it's literally impossible for me to rename this method in this manner without deleting the old method entirely (which is a breaking change). But I just bumped the major version number recently when Swift 3 was released, and I didn't want to bump it again shortly afterwards just because I didn't consider this method name during the Swift 2->3 migration.
I find that refreshing. But for 50% of liberal arts majors, under and unemployment is a hard reality.

Peer review does not happen in a vacuum. If you do not review my manuscript, who will review your manuscript when you submit it? Scientists are generally encouraged to complete a review for every review they receive. Reviewers are generally not paid.

> medical journals specifically like in this article are commonly not free

Yes, this is one of the biggest issues in scientific publishing today. I don't believe there are any easy solutions, just trade-offs (absent governments nationalizing scientific publishers and returning control to universities)
> medical journals specifically like in this article are commonly not free

Generally speaking - peer-reviewers are not employees of, nor get compensated by, academic journals.

The journal being free or paid has no bearing on the review process.
Researchers provide peer review services to journals free of charge.
Doctors are also prohibited from assisting in "enhanced interrogations" performed by the US government.

>"Any interrogation process that...requires a health professional to monitor the actual procedure, must have inherent health risks" and is thus "contrary to international law."[0]

I paged through - the rent price estimates in Seattle strike me as low. Obviously I don't have strong statistics to back this up but when I looked for one bedroom apartments a year and a half ago everything was at least $1700 and many were not in the city center. Prices have increased considerably since then.

The reasoning comes down to how you use it. I use ringbuffers for ultra low latency buffering of market data for instance. If my ringbuffer is so full that I'm worried about its length approaching its capacity then I'm doing something wrong and I should be willing to lose the data. 1 element isn't going to make the difference.

The real reason to stick with the first approach is that your static analysis tools won't freak out that you have intentional unsigned int overflow. Heck, some compilers will now scream at you for doing this. Then what happens when someone goes to port your code to a language with stricter overflow behavior? It won't work.

IMO even in realtime systems, I don't use this. Heck, the linux kernel even uses the original version.
> How is reviewing a research paper a community service? I don't mean that sarcastically but realistically medical journals specifically like in this article are commonly not free, thus I'm hard pressed to understand how this is a community service.

I can't speak to medicine, but in astronomy peer review is done for free. The reviewers receive no benefits or compensation from the journal for their time/effort. I believe it is similar across most scientific disciplines.
It's a gross misrepresentation to claim that ignoring (i.e., breaking) laws is considered acceptable by [generally recognized] libertarian philosophies. Even many anarchist philosophies would reject that, although not all.

Perhaps the concept you're looking for is "anti-authoritarian", although it's entirely possible to be anti-authoritarian without being willing to break laws as one sees fit.
As I recall, SolidWorks took the majority of the market from Pro-E in the early 2000's by charging (IIRC) $4k when Pro-E was more like $20k.

I don't know what SolidWorks charges now, but I heard that the price is considerably more than $4k.
This was a while ago so I don't remember the specifics, but the reason the conversion was special is the lawyer was able to do it in a few days instead of several months. These issues are specific to Pennsylvania, which has really awful corporate law. Supposedly all of these things are trivial for other states, but I'm just speaking from personal experience (and of course I mostly listened to what the lawyers told me, but I have every reason to believe they were extremely good at what they do).
From other quotes/pdf

"The measure of IQ used in the analysis was obtained from tests of cognitive ability administered by the Norwegian military to all draft-eligible men at approximately the age of 19 y as part of the universal military draft in Norway. "

So they weren't even IQ tests.

So there are issues with the results, but the results as they stand seem to contradict current understanding.

Is the pdf significant or not? You'd need an expert to say.
Shame on BBC for such a sloppy title. The rate range is going up by .25 percentage points, which means it is doubling (100% increase), more or less.
Peer review is done for free by other academics, not by the journal publishers. The fact that the published journal is not free is unrelated to the peer review process, which is entirely academic.
This is an excellent guide and one I wish I had when I first started my business.

One particularly tricky topic that I'd love to see covered is paying foreign employees. Paying members of a distributed team is straightforward when they perform as contractors. As we've grown and they've continued working with us, the relationship has become one of employer-employee in the eyes of U.S. law. This puts them in a nebulous situation where they are de facto employed by a U.S. company, but are non-U.S. persons deriving their income from a non-U.S. source.

It's likely other Atlas users could find themselves in a similar situation.

I'm not a fan of the "system". But I also quite firmly don't believe that change in any direction, just for the sake of change, is good. There are a ton of things the system does wrong. There are also many things the system does right.

There's a lot of interesting tech where you don't run afoul of regulation but you still massively change lives for the better. Take cell phones - that's been a huge change in the world, and at no point did anyone need to break laws or skirt regulations to make it happen. (I'm not even sure how they could; the only thing that comes to mind is using disallowed frequencies, and even that would have been so much more harmless than anything involving cars.) But they've made an immeasurably huge change in the world, for the better.

Or take the Internet. Or take Wikipedia. Or Twitter. Or mobile camera technology. Or e-commerce. Or the technologies required to run large research clusters to develop new medications. None of these things are things where the system is fundamentally opposed to what you're doing. There may be regulatory fights, sure; someone will be worried about e-commerce and taxes, or encryption and law enforcement, or whatever. You're moving fast, and the system is confused; yes, fight the system.

But you're not calling the very concept of the rule of law into question. That's where I disagree with the libertarian/anarchist technocratic movement: the fact that someones you disagree with the law doesn't mean you have to consider it illegitimate.
There is actually no such thing as different human races (in the biological sense of the word). People who believe that are... you guessed it... called racists.

If you mess up your ballot sheet, you can ask for a replacement - at least in the UK. Your original ballot sheet gets recorded specially as having been replaced, and you get a new one which gets counted. The result is that you can discreetly take a photo of your ballot sheet and then go ask for a new one if you're being threatened.

This paper http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2830854 kind of has a solution to being more efficient. It has two networks and uses the smaller one (more efficient) to infere first.

How to Use Tripwire to Detect Server Intrusions on an Ubuntu VPS
If you get exhausted by working a lot, it's probably best to not work at a small startup or a company that is growing super fast. There are larger (usually public) companies in the Bay Area where people can work 9-6 type jobs and be great at their jobs. It can be team dependent, but there are people who work totally normal hours at google, apple, linkedin, etc. There are a lot of other mature companies people work at as well. It's not as sexy to say you work for them, but they pay you a respectable salary and don't have to take over your life. That said, ANY job can take over your life if you let it, whether that job is in Portland, Austin, Chicago, or San Francisco (not that it is necessarily a bad thing to have your job be your life).

I would never buy or sell consumer stuff like an iphone on eBay. On the other hand, I buy used/refurb network equipment all the time, from sellers that have like 8000+ positive feedback and 99.8% positive feedback ratings. Very rarely a problem, and no higher rate of problems/DOA items than with any other refurb equipment dealers. There are some amazing deals out there for things that are fresh off 3-year corporate leases, or have been decommissioned from telecom/ISP sites somewhere for whatever reason. Want a 48-port 802.3af PoE 1000BaseT switch for really cheap, with proper cisco IOS, to put in the wiring closet of your house? It's a good place to look. For consumer goods, not so much.

also: I confine my purchasing on ebay to and from US domestic vendors with verified accounts, and I never sell to consumer end users...
> How is reviewing a research paper a community service?

Traditionally we are neither offered nor would accept payment for technical paper reviews to avoid any suggestion of bias.
Since someone reviews my papers too, I get roughly the same value of work back in-kind.

We are bound by academic integrity to not discuss reviews, unpublished work, or the identity of any reviewer. This is a very strong norm.

On NDAs generally: if your entire job is based saying what you think, you avoid signing anything that restricts your ability to do that.
This kind of situation would be avoided by open peer review or at least overlay journals. One more reason to go the open access route.

It's painful coming from the sane and stable ecosystem of backend dev, but investing time into learning JS is very much worth it both for your product, and your career.

For a solid foundation in ES5 (still worth learning well IMO), I would recommend:

Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja
Javascript the good parts

Cozy up to MDN documentation, and get familiar w/ jQuery after learning the basics of DOM manipulation using the browser API.

Lots of people will tell you to learn ES6/ES7/webpack/babel/npm/angular/ember/react/redux/etc (FML just typing this list) but at the end of the day, you will get plenty far with ES5 and Bootstrap taking care of the CSS. More than enough to earn some serious bucks (if your product isn't terrible). jQuery and plugins will take you far.

Once making serious cash, hire/outsource if you feel you need for something more advanced and polished.

There are no strawman arguments here. San Francisco has a sanctuary city policy, blocking immigration attempts to deport people. Deporting people is not a horrible deplorable thing, as you're making it out to be. It's a fact of border enforcement.

You can make any number of arguments about families and suffering, but the fact of the matter is that people chose to immigrate illegally and raise families when they knew what the consequences could be, and now they're trying to weasel out of the consequences.

It only makes sense to move there, if you have an incredible job offer on the table. Don't assume you might get one by moving there.

My guess is the "whiteboard interview" morphed over time and lost track of the initial intent and value.

I bet initially, code wasn't a focal point. Hiring for a position that _requires_ an understanding of certain algorithms and/or data structures, it can be a quick and simple way to outline or walk through examples at an abstract level. (both to test knowledge of existing examples, or development of a solution to a new problem)

This actually _removes_ many of the overheads associated with code: syntax, scope, state, context.
It's not at all difficult to prove copyright infringement of a paper submitted for peer review. The editors will have a copy of the paper and its submission will be date stamped in the peer review submission system. That's simply not the issue here. What happened is the reviewer submitted substantially the same manuscript to another journal, hoping no one would notice. The difficulty isn't in remedying or proving copyright infringement, but noticing it!

Uber has the garages for both Otto and these cars on Harrison, between 3rd and 4th streets, on the side of the lanes headed to I-80W/101S. When they need to park either, particularly the semi-trucks, they get people in vests to come out, stop traffic for pretty much all lanes of traffic, and slowly park their delicate vehicles.... Glad to see this story.
