I read that as "most startups should fail before trying to hire skilled employees".

If you don't have the cash on hand to pay competitive wages, you should not be hiring the employees.

I would never again work at a startup for the unilaterally renegotiable lottery tickets they are somehow allowed to call "options", instead of salary. If they really, really needed to compensate me with something other than cash, maybe I'd do it for actual stock and retained copyrights in my code. Maybe I'd do it for bonds with a coupon rate 10% above t-bills. But they would definitely also have to do something to polish my resume in case the company fails early. Overblown job title. Gratuitous supervisory authority over someone not needing supervision. Authority to do a side project using a rising-star tech stack.

If you can't give me cash, you have to give me something of equivalent value. If, in the long run and in aggregate, people who have ever been startup employees are earning less than those who were always employees of established companies, the startups are simply not compensating appropriately. And in that case, "don't work for startups" is the correct advice.
For example, Arimaa, which has a more complex ruleset and a bigger game tree. It was designed to be difficult for AI, but in practice the complexity was difficult for humans too, and AI was developed to beat the best humans using classical chess AI techniques and some clever heuristics.

Go is "most complex" only when measured by difficulty of implementing a AI to beat the best humans.
I'm not saying that cops were in the right in every one of those situations. It just means there's no context in a majority of those incidents - which is critical to determine if the cop was justified in what he did.

Likewise, the context is critical for each of the examples you listed. . .

Mike Brown - So much evidence that contradicted the whole "hand up, don't shoot" narrative:

In summary, the DOJ report concluded: There are no witnesses who could testify credibly that Wilson shot Brown while Brown was clearly attempting to surrender. The accounts of the witnesses who have claimed that Brown raised his hands above his head to surrender and said “I don’t have a gun,” or “OK, OK, OK” are inconsistent with the physical evidence.”

http://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/why-did-justice-departme...

The whole incident took place after Brown had just committed a strong arm robbery and assaulted the owner of a shop. There's a mountain of evidence that proves officer Wilson was well within his rights to shoot Brown but I won't go down that rabbit hole at this point.

Eric Garner - I would agree the cops acted callously in arresting Garner. That should have been a standard arrest. Take him to the ground, cuff him and put in the car. The cops were wrong in this scenario, and should have done a better job of simply cuffing Garner and getting him in the car - especially when he kept saying he couldn't breathe. There is however, still some responsibility on Garner's part that he resisted arrest in the first place, which then resulted in the officers putting him in the choke hold that eventually killed him. Had he simply allowed the officers to arrest him without incident, he'd probably still be alive today.

Tamir Rice - This was an egregious act on the cops part. Not only did the callers mention that the gun was probably fake, the dispatcher didn't rely that to the cops who showed up. The cop also acted way too fast in drawing his gun and shooting Tamir immediately without hesitation or warning. A $6 million settlement probably confirms this was the case. Not to mention the officer in question had also been deemed "unsuitable and emotionally unstable" in his last position in a different county and shouldn't even been allowed to be a cop again.

Idea to product and 500 users in 36 hours
My query is more along the lines of how to invest resources to correct large deviations from the population at large and which deviations are more important than others.

For example, HMC is attempting to address diversity, but only along gender lines. There is no attempt to address racial diversity in any means.

Further in very progressive companies like Google and Facebook, Hispanic and Blacks in leadership positions are less than 1%, compared to a US population of 17% and 12% nationwide (respectively).

In these companies, 24% of leadership roles are held by women. That means that with regards to women, they are hitting 48% of their target (if the target is to get a 50/50 gender split). Whereas, with regards to race, they are hitting 5% of their target with Hispanics and 8% with blacks (if the goal is to get close to the population sample at large). So why is that that most "diversity" program only focus on gender? I know that the two aren't mutual exclusive, but it's no secret that far more resources are spent on gender diversity than anything else.
They won't leave if it costs them access to the hugely profitable domestic market that makes them rich.

* Multi-window interface, yeah, that's the first thing I change whenever I use a freshly installed Gimp. Using i3 with multi-window Gimp is a recipe for frustration.

* Only save XCF and export everything else — I was infuriated by that too at first but when you think about it it actually makes a lot of sense. People hit save with the expectation that they can continue their work later, but "saving" to a PNG (or similar) won't preserve your layers, paths, undo history, etc. That particular design decision has really grown on me even though I still hit Save every now and then when I really want to export.

* Sliders being split and acting non-standard, I'll give you that it takes some getting used to. I don't think it's terrible, but maybe enabling Ctrl for fine tuning or something would be better than splitting the slider in the middle without much except a small and somewhat ambiguous cursor change to indicate it.

* I don't think overlap in tool functions is a Gimp only thing. I would expect that in most software that doesn't exclusively operate on the lowest level possible.

* For tablet/screen mode, that's a part of Gimp that I've never used so I obviously have no idea.
I'd be interested in how long they've had 68 employees for; was it 68 two years prior to the trial, or even 51?

I wonder if there's a balance somewhere here too. Perhaps have employees work 7 hours at a slightly reduced rate.

This trial alone is probably difficult to draw solid conclusions from, other than to say if these employees work less they produce less (albeit not proportionately it seems).

Perhaps Golang will get a VM or something similar to enable stuff like exec/eval to be implemented with rapid response times in Grumpy. The only way I've ever seen a REPL implemented for Go is by recompiling the source code via a call to "os/exec".Command for each statement or declaration entered, which gives a 1-second delay on many computers.
Been there. Done that. Suffered the consequences.

Accelerator on a Chip
Problem for Göteborg is lack of money. Göteborgs economy is one of the worst in Sweden, about 50 billion SEK in debt. City took money from other areas to fund this pilot. This is always going to the problem in a well regulated budget like for a city. Therefore they ended it.

These kind of nursing jobs in public sector is low wage and high work load, no regulation on formal training, but usually some sort of grammar school education. 97% who works with it are women.

What the public employer want to do here is to use the number of work hours, instead of high salary, to attract young people. Thats the long term scheme.

Wages in public sector in Sweden is falling behind private sector more and more. You can get more paid to clean someones apartment than a newly educated registered nurse with proper training from a university gets when signing up for work in the public sector.

Lots of young Swedes go to Norway and work there instead and get much better pay.

What particularly annoys is also that every idea must have a creation story, aka a logical explanation how it came to be in a logical,incremental, analytical step by step way. Even if it never was born this way.

I guess, "I stuffed strange stuff and books into my brain- and one sunny day my sub-conscious gave birth to this. It can invent a how-its-made-story too, if you need that." scares a lot of people, because the process cant be learned, not be controlled, not refined or quantified.

I've worked in both modes. I've never heard of anyone being chastised for not being in the office enough --- but of course, that kind of feedback would be given in private.

I think the expectation is that you just be an adult about your work habits. Make sure that you're not slowing down the people you work with. It's up to you to figure out how to do that. One strategy is to just be in the office, but there are other options too.

(I'd say "teammates", but close collaborators aren't necessarily teammates at FB. You might work closely with someone every day and share only Zuck as the lowest common manager.)
What you're saying is right (in general, but not in reference to the specific analogy), but I'm not sure what it has to do with a frequentist analysis. Rather, it's a simplistic linear analysis of a higher-order system. Instead of multiplying the number of murders (which is an output, not an input), just multiply the number of potential murderers, with some percentage chance of being triggered to desire to murder a particular individual if encountered. If that chance averages 1%, in a town of 101 people you would have a 50% chance of having at least one person who would want to murder you. In a town of 10,001, you would have a 99.5% chance of having at least one person who would want to murder you. [edit: and in a town of 101, there would be no chance of having more than 100 people who wanted to murder you. In a town of 10,001, you'd be as likely as not to have 100 people would would murder you.]

If everyone is exposed to everyone at all times, then everyone is endangered in large groups (seems obvious) even if no one is consistently looking for trouble more than anyone else. If that the qualities that inspire that 1% reaction have a clumpy distribution (either in perpetrator or victim), the experiences that individuals have will be vastly different in an average forum, and when holding the tolerance for danger constant, the least targeted will feel comfortable in far larger towns than the most targeted.

Of course, in real life, the larger the town, the higher the level of anonymity. In the case of internet forums, however, 1) smaller groups are being eliminated in favor of larger groups due to finance and economies of scale and 2) there is a profit motive in de-anonymizing users. There's absolutely no degree of moderation that can make it work. Anonymity simply makes the problem disappear. What you said can be targeted, you yourself cannot be.

One of the reasons an asynchronous I/O event loop can be faster than a threaded model is that the CPU spends more of its time in a single userspace thread per core, switching between clients that are ready. A threaded server will incur a kernel-space context switch each time, while an asynchronous loop will keep the processing time in userspace.
The idea is to continue to write code in Python. The transpiled code is not suitable for working with directly. That said, there is the possibility of rewriting bits and pieces in Go (e.g. performance critical stuff) and then call into it from Python. Sort of a hybrid approach.

D-Wave isn't trying to build a general purpose quantum computer. As it stands, they've been trying to optimize a computer that executes a particular algorithm (and as it stands, it's not faster than optimized classical algorithms). It is an open research question if D-Wave's architecture actually utilizes any quantum effects to give it an advantage over classical architectures. D-Wave hopes that there will be enough problems that their machine is good at that their approach will be justified.

D-Wave markets themselves as having hundreds or thousands of qubits, but these qubits aren't easily controllable or measurable in ways that would allow Shor's to be executed on them (for example), so at the least, it seems like dishonest marketing. In order to build a general quantum computer, you need to be able to apply gates to arbitrary collections of qubits.

I'd recommend everyone to check out IBM's online http://www.research.ibm.com/quantum/ for a brief tutorial on how you need to be able to wire qubits together, and what a general quantum computer would look like. (You can even execute the result on an actual Quantum Computer; so it gives some idea of what an API would look like).

IANAL, but "someone hired me" is not a defense for any crime. Perhaps Marriott could use ignorance as an excuse for hiring a wireless communication firm to break a wireless communication law (under the somewhat silly theory that they are only experts in hotel law), but the wireless communication firm itself certainly can't.
> When you move an existing object (by specifically saying std::move), what should happen with it?

You don't destroy it, you treat it as an actual "move", where the compiler will not consider the original variable as accessible after this point, and not allow accesses after the move. The memory it took up is free for reuse, and no destruction code is run on the side of the code doing the moving (in the case of a conditional move this gets a tiny bit more complex, but not too much). "It's variable will be still accessible in local scope" is exactly what I'm getting at; you can enforce at compile time that this isn't the case by simply disallowing access.

You shouldn't have local references active, just like how you shouldn't have local references to the contents of a vector when you push to it. You can already invalidate local references to a part of a struct when something gets moved in modern C++. Being wary of invalidating local references is an established concept in C++; this doesn't exacerbate that problem.

It's even better if you track scopes in references which gets rid of the dangling reference problem entirely but at this point you've reinvented Rust :p

To be clear, I'm talking of a completely different model that could have been used in place of the rvalue reference and move model. Making C++ have linear types now would be tough, but it could have been done before. There are different tradeoffs there, but I suspect it would have been safer.

> all variables should have a "not-a-value" state and throw exceptions on use.

You can make this a compile time error. Like I said, linear typing is a pretty well established pattern.

I think role playing and acting are two different things. Acting is about your audience, role playing is about yourself. So while Mary Sue roles may not be the most enjoyable to watch (though I never had an issue with them myself), that doesn't necessarily apply to games in which you want to play as a better person than you can be in real life.
It's an interesting idea. Will it scale down to running all of the functions within a single process though (aka, like a singular monolithic app)?

The comment I was replying to was not and is not substantive and informative at all. I wanted to communicate my displeasure to the comment's author, because I'm a mere human. Because I didn't have enough karma yet, I couldn't just downvote it and move on. (NH's policy regarding downvotes from new users encourages them to post unnecessary comments.) That's why I decided to notify the comment's author that his comment was very informative and interesting, even though it was not the case. It's called irony. Is irony uncivil? I don't think so. I do agree that my comment was not substantive, just like the comment I was replying to. That's why I kindly ask to delete that comment too, like you deleted mine. Of course, I expect my request to be most likely ignored, because I'm not some karma [redacted] like the person I was replying to. In fact, I hope I will never become a karma [redacted]. I hope I will always post anything I believe should be posted, regardless of my expectations of being upvoted or downvoted. Thanks for your attention.
