Why not the entire salary? If you're already worth $100m, you're working for fun and prestige not because you need cash to pay your rent.

All the famous rich ceos have tiny salaries and make their money on capital gains. It's more tax efficient to boot!
dragonwriter know that Serbia wasn't a stable democracy at the time. He just refuses to discuss it because he is trolling.

Also, Croatia/Bosnia/Serbia were civil wars.

Anyway, how many free elections had Croatia and Bosnia had at that time, to be defined as democratic? :-)

How many peaceful transitions of power had there been at the time (the real gold test)? :-)

If just one reasonably free election is needed, then Hamas in Gaza is a democratic government... :-)
Heck, Donald Trump isn't even President yet. If these kids are "dying of climate change" it might be Obama's responsibility, but it's hard to see how it could have anything to do with Trump.

As an enterprise user: Just about everything to do with LDAP/AD integration. Disabling an AD user from the app and re-enabling them later converts their account into a local account, for one. If you have it connected to a Crowd server, and the Crowd server loses connection with its directory, it returns an empty user list to Hipchat, resulting in EVERY USER ACCOUNT BEING DISABLED. And as we just established, when it comes back, Hipchat sets up the users as new.

I still remember, and have nightmares about, the day ~300 users lost all private chats, private room membership, and chat history, all because of braindead design.

Hipchat is not my favorite atlassian product. The only reason they have any traction whatsoever is because Slack doesn't offer a behind the firewall product.
Ask HN: How does non-solicit clause affect coworkers starting company together?
Understand this is a IANAL type of ask.

Employee non-solicitation clauses typically say something like during employment and 12 months after, you cannot directly or indirectly solicit current employees. How does that apply to coworkers who are both current employees?

Yeah that looks like it's the same research. Thanks!
For the past 17 years, our policy has been to push vendors to open source drivers and push those drivers upstream. Red Hat and Canonical rarely ever take hardware vendor patches otherwise anyway.

When you're shipping brand new hardware, not all distributions necessarily are caught up even if upstream projects (kernel, X, etc) are.
One way I filter my science news is to ignore all headlines that contains the word "may", "could be", etc. I don't recall in recent times seeing an actual product release corresponding to one of these headlines. Most of the time its just some research group doing some experiment in very narrow scope, working slowly towards 10 year horizon and doing some PR to renew the funding.
I'm confused by your comment. Why would you have to re-install your OS because of a problem with X? X doesn't typically save a configuration, it doesn't keep a registry, etc. Its settings get regenerated when it boots. Maybe you're encountering application configuration issues? Deleting/re-creating your user account should be enough (or finding the Gnome/KDE/other configuration that is causing problem, but I agree that can be hard to find).

If your experience is mostly with Apple hardware, which I haven't used in a while, then you're taking a risk. The manufacturer/distributor is not playing nice with the community. I use mostly Intel generic hardware (including Intel video cards). At worst, I had to use Debian "testing" for the first few months after buying new hardware.

Wayland fixes issues in the Linux security model, but otherwise I don't know how well it does on hardware where the manufacturer isn't contributing. You need to direct that feedback to the people to whom you gave a lot of money :/
Outlook.

1. Create a people folder, with a rule for all emails from that person to go into that folder.
2. Sort reverse chronologically.
3. Tag emails manually on some category (personal information, business/career change, etc)
4. Filter and sort upon meeting.
5. Make all communication with all of your friends be exclusively over email (this is the hard part).
So... correct me if I'm wrong, but this DP3 color space they're using isn't increasing the bit-ness of the color, it's still 8 bit color, they're just using a different color space to get a wider range of color with less precision?

Seems sort of silly to me as most designers will be on sRGB displays and most people will be used to how images look in the sRGB space, but I guess it's one more way for Apple to sell more new Apple stuff by pretending these extremes in color are more important than precision in other parts of the spectrum.

I can definitely understand going to 10-bit color, this, not so much.
I just made the connection between phlogiston and the "magic smoke" theory of electrical devices :)
Just as the Naive Bayes algorithm is remarkably effective, a human approximation is often pretty good. Good enough that the strategy of the AI will be more important than its combinatorics.

I feel like knowledge is one of those "I know it with I see it" type things. It can be assessed, but not systematically via a multiple choice standardized test. Which puts a lot of trust in the judgement of teachers.

Not exactly a politically viable solution in America.
You're right: this does have to do with gender. It's the glass cliff. Example: have a failing corporation? Jump off the ship and have a lady run the helm until it sinks! And guess what? Blame her for not turning it around.

This is exactly why people seem to "deny, deny, deny" because in reality they know the glass cliff to be a real phenomenon. And a sad one, too.
I really wish this wasn't true. The Internet is effectively dead to me.
I did play with a guy for several sessions who would consistently shake his leg whenever he had a good hand. I felt so bad for him (after busting him a few times) that I told him about it so he'd fix the shaking.
No, it's Maxwell. There's not a mobile Pascal Quadro that'd work at that form factor and thermal capacity at this time. The Kaby Lake Dell XPS 15 (Precision 5520's sibling) uses a Pascal GTX, though.
Not to mention, that before buying my Dell XPS 15 (at the time) in order to run Debian, I mostly relied on Arch's documentation to know if it was a good purchase or not, and what wifi chipset to choose :)
> The fact that people have won multiple championships and that many people continue to reach the final tables is evidence against the notion that it's just about money.

In modern poker (not the old days where few were playing), the max bracelets anyone has won is 5. Assuming that past a basic threshold of skill it's a 50/50 crapshoot, there's a 1 in 32 chance you get that on luck. There are thousands of people above the basic threshold.

"Professional" poker really is about tourists and drinkers. The grind is too slow, painful, and volatile. I know a couple of people who support themselves on only poker. That's their strategy year round between tournies. The reason they play the big tournies is to get lucky, and parlay their fame into sponsorships and such.
Weekly magazines often appear in doctors offices and in mailboxes of consumer home subscriptions many days before their ascribed "newstand date." (newsweek, time magazine, national geographic, the economist... )

Note the qualifier "ISSUE," which would hint that it's not a daily.

For weeklies, editors probably have their print runs prepped for the publishers a few weeks in advance, with some variable slots left ambiguous for flexibility, in case they want to pre-empt a soft story with significant breaking news.

This piece doesn't seem to be a run up of current events, like the latest Trump tweets or whatever active shooter incident du jour. It's really a research piece that probably took several months to compile, edit and sweeten. Figure the broad strokes and the idea of the article were crafted over the summer, maybe.

Skipping is caused by high acceleration, so vinyl masters might use something called "acceleration limiting". The vinyl master might also mix the bass down to mono. So, in order to fix problems with needles jumping out of the groove, the solution is actually to apply more limiting and not less.

Vinyl has also been a production afterthought since about 1990. You'd create a stereo mixdown and send it to the mastering engineer--but by then it would often have some master bus compression already applied to it, equalization, and limiting. The mastering engineer would spend most of their time, day in and day out, working with music meant for CDs, and maybe they'd tweak the CD master a little bit to make it acceptable for vinyl. So, basically, by the time the loudness war started, people didn't care enough about vinyl to make a special vinyl master, and by the time the vinyl resurgence hit us, the loudness war was mostly over.

Hell, there's a ton of vinyl out there where they used the CD as a master, rather than using the original mixdown. The mastering engineer will cut a normal CD and send it to another mastering engineer which specializes in vinyl.

Of course, there are exceptions. There are records mastered separately for CD and vinyl, and there are artists who would deliver pristine mixdowns to the mastering engineers. But the vast majority of vinyl releases are not special. There are even plenty of cases where the vinyl master was butchered a bit compared to the CD.

I'm not trying to argue that CDs are better than vinyl in practice. I'm just arguing that there's not a technical reason to prefer vinyl, at least for most releases. If the difference you perceive is important to you, then the difference is real.
The amount of documentation there suggests it's not so easy. Especially when you're trying to get something unrelated done.

Most of Europe and Japan doesn't fluoridate their water and they don't have notably worse dental outcomes.

It really has to do with toothbrushing and diet. Water fluoridation is just a way to get to the people who refuse to brush their teeth.
Honestly, I've always been surprised that intelligence paychecks of all kinds aren't larger, for informants or agents. I know government salaries are generally constrained (especially for highly-skilled work), but surely one helpful step for fighting subversion is to insure that your employees are living comfortably?
I'll agree that I definitely oversimplified it. I think what I was getting at was that it was a similar set of skills to other types of software development.

This "bashing" seems to be an attempt to deflect any and all criticism of her countless mistakes at Yahoo! - not least of which was that they helped leak vast swathes of personal data due to their CEO's reckless indifference to security.
I'm hoping Wayland does indeed solve the problems X has. Unfortunately, it's not just one problem but a series of them spread over multiple machines from various vendors. This latest one I think is probably not the graphics driver as it did work fine for a couple of weeks but the trackpad driver. I think I might give Fedora 25 a shot and see if there's a difference.

Without a doubt, however, Linux based OS's have come a very long way even in just the last 5 years, let alone the last 20. Mint KDE for example, works almost out of the box for me on my 2013 MbPro w/ external 4k monitor (except internal trackpad / Magic Trackpad 2). I suspect I'll be able to remove that "almost" in the next year or two if not sooner and once messing with X config is no longer required, hopefully X (or Wayland) will be stable.
Reasearch indicates that fluorided water is better at covering the surface area of your teeth--brushing with toothpaste mostly removes the layer of plaque and allows the active ingredient to work better.

It's actually phenomenal how little dental research has ever reached consumer behavior or dental care.
But the thing you missed is that having to have 50 different knives is a benefit :)
As someone who grew up on well water with no fluoride in it I can confirm that my teeth are looking fine after all these years of regular dental checkups and twice daily tooth-brushing.
AOL was acquired by Verizon, so in a sense they still exist, but in another sense not. They did own/operate HuffPo, Engadget, and other properties for some time prior to the Verizon acquisition.
The shutter in an X700 is timed electronically and won't work without battery power, a common fault occurs when one tiny capacitor in the timing mechanism fails, preventing the shutter from releasing.

I have no idea what the faux shutter is because the camera had a fairly conventional horizontal fabric shutter. The actual innovatation is with the closed-loop AE mode where the camera will account for a faulty aperture or more importantly, non-TTL flash by measuring light reflected off the film in real time.
I had a similar talk with my dentist, where I was optimistic about future and he put me back into reality. He took a piece of paper and started drawing tooth in its complexity - nerves, blood supply, several completely different and 'living' layers (somehow I pictured teeth as something rather simple, like a piece of hard stone inserted into gums), and then he said, do you think a simple chemical can rebuild all this interplaying complexity?
Agreed. I'm specifically referencing wasted space. As I've gotten older, that "wasted" space gets replaced with zoomed fonts using ctrl+=. I've found this attitude and use isn't all that unique anecdotally, so I found the assertion that it's "rare" to be contrary to my own experience. I have no citation the other way though!
I await the follow up from Think Progress. I think i'll be waiting for a long time.
If this stuff can repair cavity holes, presumably it can replace enamel wherever it's been lost. If it could also extend enamel onto exposed tooth roots that lack enamel, that'd be great for us older folk with gum recession and vulnerable naked roots.

Sure it's possible to use Linux on the desktop. It's also possible to find some laptops that are well supported.

Do I want to replace Lightroom, Sketch, Pixelmator, 1Password and Alfred with inferior replacements? No, because my livelihood depends on good tools and I think it's fair to pay money for them.
Does this also mean that Bitcoin mining time is quasipolynomial with the difficulty parameter?
While I can't source the IQ claim, the evidence "showing" that fluoridation is safe to drink (as opposed to measuring by tooth health) is fairly scarce.

OTOH I've heard teeth are especially poor around Portland Oregon where they don't fluoride the water. I'd simply say the jury is still out.

I tend to think of iq claims specifically with a particularly large grain of salt: it's an index of society that people follow closely and is related to many, many factors.
If we optimize districts to minimize the efficiency gap we're just gerrymandering to a different measure. This is shoddy proportionality. We could have proper Proportional Representation[1] via a big at-large election using the Single Transferable Vote process.

We should either have locality based districts, or give up on districting and have some other identity based constituency representation.

The same could be said for anyone who is payed less than 100k, right?
AFAIK (I'm not a native speaker), English language has short and long words. Short words are native, long words are foreign. It's because long words in other languages are composed: short root, and suffix(es) to make proper form. English language uses other rules, so remnants of foreign languages are not welcome, but foreign languages are associated with wisdom, so longer words are associated with wisdom and science too. Can you confirm that?

Starting a consulting company won't get you a green card. At best you will have an infinitely renewable work permit if you qualify for the E2 visa.
Yes. There is no shortage of anyone who is paid under $100k.
I doubt that such cooperation is actually the result of (at least overt) pressure (and couldn't find anything in the article implying it). I think it may be the result of some more subtle mechanisms.

First among them is simply that there's nothing wrong with the data collection in the first place, and that the US/NSA is on your side. I'm rather uninformed about Swedish politics, but a generally positive view of the US is shared almost universally among the European elite. Many have studied in the US, binge-watched The West Wing, or simply see the positive role the US has played in Europe over the last 70 years. The only exceptions I can think of are France and some left-of-left-of-center parties.

Secondly, for someone working on or leading such efforts it's tremendously flattering to be noticed by the NSA. It may seem strange to think such basic emotions could influence policy, but I'm absolutely certain that there are people, from the actual programmers up to and including ministers, who love being invited to whatever the NSA version of WWDC is, and that they can influence policy.
No, it's not arbitrary at all. It's based on the concept that inflicting pain and suffering on another being should be justified.

I'm sure that given the choice between not being tortured and being tortured, you would pick the former. And that's because you recognize that pain -even if subjective and sometimes necessary- is a negative feeling for the one experiencing it.

What's arbitrary is saying that you don't want to inflict pain on human babies but are okay with inflicting pain on baby pigs, assuming both are equally capable of experiencing pain and distress. You are picking an arbitrary trait (species) and ignoring the relevant one (ability to feel pain).

FWIW Figma is quickly becoming a great replacement for Sketch. And I think Adobe is working on cloud equivalents for many of their offerings, so when those are ready at least some of your concerns will be removed.

1Password definitely has replacements that aren't inferior. Alfred is OS specific tuning and you can easily get settings you enjoy on your Linux desktop.
The only major bug I've experienced in Tower v2 is related to renaming repos. That part's very broken, but besides that it's been great for me.
I agree - this is important, and seems to get missed often. Another important difference between Jobs and every other would-be tyrant CEO is that Apple was creating truly new, innovative, and important products, and doing so with the highest quality and taste. When the CEO of Consolidated Megacorp tries the same behavior, but does so in the context of their typically rotten products and/or services, they get the derision from their employees and from society at large that they deserve.
I have to flap my macbook's wifi and/or reboot several times a day. I can't find out how to fix it from their joke of online support - just a load of people bitching about the same thing and deleting the plist file, IIRC, which is a temporary fix.

> Highly skilled workers do not receive cost of living adjustments. I've been recruited for jobs in low cost of living and high cost of living areas. The pay is the same in both when there is a true shortage of labor.

Policy cannot be determined by anecdotes.

> Company A wants to pay Engineer X $500k and Company B wants to pay Engineer Y $50k then clearly Company A has a greater need.

Hardly a forgone conclusion, there are numerous confounding factors. For example company B might not have the resources/revenue to outbid company A.

Another counterexample of many for why an auction system is terrible: employee y could be a research scientist in industry contributing to the foundation of a new industry. An auction system would give their visa to a fullstack developer hired by a startup flush with funding.
If I may use the full benefits of hindsight, I wonder if Yahoo, instead of Google, ought to have been the company to go all-in on a social network competitor to facebook, (and I don't mean 360°). Yahoo had more organic components of a social community across its properties than Google ever did. If they wanted to mature into something that was more than a media company, that seems to me like the path to take.

Of course it's easy to say that. I have much more faith in Google's ability to execute on that front than Yahoo, and look what happened to G+. So who knows if they could have done it right.
