In the UK, at least, Credit Cards also have much better protection under the law: http://www.money.co.uk/current-accounts/is-debit-card-protec... - Debit Cards are not _required_ to have any protection.
Venezuela had freedom of the press when the populist Chavez grasped power. Guess the first thing he did.

In the US, the populist Trump is trying to get the same effect with the "the press is all lies, trust only what I say" rhetoric.

The antidote to lies is education, and it's not in the interest of an authoritarian regime to educate its population to the point where they can question the state's propaganda. So the only way out to freedom seems to be to start with independent (even if illegal) press.
I totally agree: I re-watch this movie every year. My favourite part of the movie is when he is talking to the two older hackers and one says to the other "Do you remember when you asked me to tell you when you were acting rudely and insensitively? Well, you're doing it right now."... just made things feel so real.
You're asking the wrong questions/ missing the bigger picture. Plus personality disorders are not always negative[0].

The underlying condition is "culture." Companies higher people with similar values that'll fit right in and "go with the flow." Now, how do we make it so the culture of fledgling companies does not turn into a frat house?

Restricting the freedoms of these types to start business will not work.

I work in the financial sector. In the summer months especially, it is common to see women dressed in sleeveless tops. I would argue that sexualizing one's peers is much more unprofessional than dressing for comfort.
The book "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" (https://www.mhpbooks.com/books/debt/) makes a compelling case that no societies on record have depended on a barter economy. The author also argues that debt even predates state sponsored currency.

If you want to go, go. If you don't want to, don't go.

Now, if it's during work hours, if it's some kind of "team-building exercise" or some such, then yes, you should go. On your own time, though? On your time you do what you want.
How do you know (asking seriously, since I work alone 99% of the time) when somebody is sexist (or any other ist) or if he/she is just a generally unpleasant person?

Also, I got to say that if I'm in the same room with a woman who has a very visible cleavage I will look into the ceiling to avoid even the vague notion that I'm looking into their breasts.
As soon as I could install MySQL and Apache on OS X I had to have it. I no longer needed an internet/SSH connection to code.
Would he have to pay more taxes, though? All his wealth is tied up in stock. His income is probably relatively small.

When taxes go up the money actually comes from middle and upper-middle class people who draw a paycheck, not from super-rich people whose net worth goes up by a billion dollars on a good market day and all without generating any taxable income.
I looked into getting a HSAs through my consulting LLC last year due to the tax benefits, but my current (day job) employer plan includes a mandatory HRA. From what I could find at the time, I wouldn't qualify for this, right? Do you have a list of qualifications somewhere easy to access? Also, what are the investments accessible to the plan? I'm not finding much details on your site.
I've re-read this, and re-reviewed the definition of sexism which is quite broad.

I think the case could be made that the manager was actually displaying sexism towards Mark. How? By believing/saying that his decisions would be motivated by what kind of top the author was wearing. This is clearly an old stereotype of males and pretty much definition sexism.

Her manager also comes of as an ass in this article; not sure what's true though.
You are right. It highlights the lack of social skills in nerds. I feel however that it's a stereotype.
I was buying gas at 2AM in Grand Forks, ND on my way back to my parents home. I had stopped at that same station multiple times, but Citibank denied the authorization (plenty of money, and I only used that card for gas). I foolishly was about $5 short on cash[1], had to call Citibank and yell. Had to walk to the across the street that had an ATM that would work with my bank card (gas station ATM didn't have the network). It was a typical ND winter night.

The failure mode on getting permission is really nasty.

Thinking about it, they really had some sh!+ software at that point since I only used the card at 4 gas stations with 1 in the Plymouth, MN and the other three on the I94 / I29 route.

1) after this I started following my Dad's policy of hiding $100 in the car for emergencies.
I want to continue being able to pay by Cash as it's the only to guarantee my privacy. But, because of the miles I get using my credit card, I end up almost never using any cash.

I'll have to think about this, do I value the plane trips so much that I'm willing to compromise on my values regarding privacy?

I'm also going to look into blockchain currencies like Bitcoin to see what potential currencies would guarantee my privacy.
"Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see anything that the manager is doing wrong"

If that's the case, then never, ever go into management.
I think we'll see - and I'm hoping that he does - but people with power overall tend to have a very bad habit of making empty promises in the face of criticism.

Money hides all sorts of problems. Nothing would have ever happened to Madoff if the economy didn't tank and thus break his pyramid scheme. A company can be incredibly dysfunctional and if they're in a lucrative enough market they can still be 'successful'.
How does it compare to the book? I read the book but just assumed that watching the movie would spoil the book, like so many movie adaptations do.

The book didn't really influence my 10 year old self much, though. I read Steven Levy's Hackers at about the same time, and that's what really got me started.

Consider this situation: three different developers are working on the same application. They should all have the exact same dependencies installed, right? Therefore they should be working of of a freeze file of some kind.

Why use an entirely ad-hoc freeze file when you can start from a known-working snapshot (that some of them might already have installed on their machines!) and modify it from there. I find this the perfect option in this kind of situation, and so object to saying that stack is just for non-experts.
> That doesn't mean that the poor are worse off than they were before

How do you know? Honest question. Who's done and published those statistics?
Yes it is true! When we began looking into this over a year ago, we discovered how powerful of a utility the HSA can be. The rule is that your HSA dollars can be invested and earn interest completely tax free, so long as when you take your money out, it is used on qualified medical expenses. Assuming you use the money on qualified medical expenses, you can use that money tomorrow, next year, or 30 years from now. There is a lot more flexibility in that context. Worst case, you can invest and let your HSA dollars grow and when you retire (age 65 with the HSA), use the money for non-qualified expenses and just pay ordinary income taxes at that time - similar to the 401k.

We will be launching our investment capabilities at the end of Q2 so stay tuned for that.

With regards to what are we doing to make it easier:
1. We have designed our user experience to not need paperwork to get up and running. You (as the employer) and your employees can sign up in minutes - all online.
2. We have a Learning Center designed to help both employers and individuals about best practices, listed qualified medical expenses
3. Electronic receipt upload and categorization in case of an audit
4. For employers, we are automated with 9 different payroll companies taking the administrative burden off of the employer and onto us!

Those are just a few things, but we will be coming out with many more features that will help you as you grow!
I think the developer community right now is siganificant enough to offer a meaningful market for smaller shop like Razer. If they manage to deliver a relatively well-built (not to the level of apple, something close to xps or thinkpad), with solid linux integration, slightly expensive (like 10% over the mass market models with equivalent hardware spec), I will buy for sure.
Explain how the parent can be called racist please. I get that he may have assumed a culture (distinct from race) based on social cues. Stop yelling racism at everything, it waters down a very real issue. Half the comments in this thread are like yours, virtue signalling without critical thought.
Expert tools are for experts, they can be hard to use as long as they are really good at doing what they do. If you haven't noticed though, these modern times are all about convenience. We even have delivery services for gasoline, and there was already a gas station on every corner. If Docker (or someone else) makes this stuff super easy, they are going to win.
We were hiring up until about a week ago, but we're staffed up now. We're based in Minneapolis.

...if the CEO and I didn't see eye to eye on something, that was never going to change while this person was CEO.

This advice may be reliably true but I would also argue there are major exceptions. For example, take founder & ceo of any billion dollar company and you will find that they evolved drastically (in good and bad ways) over the years. Zuckerberg has radically transformed himself from an immature frat boy to a charitable, intelligent billionaire CEO. I am sure people who have known him over some period of time would disagree with your investor's line of thinking.

What's the conservative angle when analyzing Trump's lies?

Like, for every lie of Trump's that they highlight should they also highlight a lie of a Democrat in congress or something?

What if Trump lies more than all the Democrats put together. What should they do to provide balance if that is the case? Maybe discuss how the lies serve his agenda?
I can't even tell you how "annoyed" we were when we got wind of this. It really is important to us to not charge individuals for the basic HSA. We will be coming out with investment capabilities at the end of Q2. Stay tuned for that. And for full transparency, since that is a premium feature, we will charge individuals for that ability, however our fees for that will be in-line with how the current industry prices it. If you don't want investment capabilities, your HSA is 100% free with us.
I'd say JS essential reading would be:

1. JavaScript the good parts - because classic

2. You don't know JS series - because depth

3. Functional JavaScript - because underscore

> How do you know (asking seriously, since I work alone 99% of the time) when somebody is sexist (or any other ist) or if he/she is just a generally unpleasant person?

Neither is mutually exclusive or objective. Someone can be sexist and be a pleasant person and someone can be an unpleasant person, but not sexist.

Similarly, someone can be unpleasant and racist to one person, but be pleasant and not racist to another.

There's not solid way to determine these things. If you're not in a position where you're being scrupulously watched over for signs of being an ist, then just try to be a good person instead of being not a sexist, or not a racist.

> Also, I got to say that if I'm in the same room with a woman who has a very visible cleavage I will look into the ceiling to avoid even the vague notion that I'm looking into their breasts.

That sounds more like social anxiety/ conditioning.
Why not both?

Get your engineers who want to go into management to get a MBA (regular, part time, or executive). Eng background with a MBA is IMHO one of the best combinations around.

Managing people & businesses isn't something you're born with, it's something you learn and train. Just like coding, but sometimes way harder.

Full disclaimer: I have a computer engineering undergrad and a MBA, so take my opinion with a lot of salt :)
The manager wasn't telling male workers to wear long sleeved shirts, so that's the most obvious one. It was also obviously the last straw. Often in stories like these the last straw seems pretty stupid compared to a larger problem. People have a breaking point but it's often a small thing that puts them over it, the straw that broke the camels back.

Although the story doesn't spell out the gender of everyone on the team - the statistics of 11 engineers implies she could be the only female - only controlling her work behavior (where and when she can work), but not her coworkers (that they can work from home), if all her coworkers are male, is pretty sexist. And it may be indicative a deeper - and more pervasive - problem of sexism (for example, she was regularly managed differently because she was female, which sounds like the case) that was the main problem for her.
In the US if you overstay that's a big black mark against you when you try to get a new visa. I have to believe the UK is similar.
I'm not sure what's happened at the Guardian the last couple years. I guess my view of them was positive after the Snowden revelations. But esp since brexit they have been producing a huge amount of rubbish, with link bait titles and outright lies or vastly exaggerated claims (so many of these - for example, https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/dec/23/queen-gives-...). You really can't believe anything written on the Guardian anymore.
Easy fix:

Mandatory dress codes. Men in suit, with tie from the time you enter the office until the time you leave.
Women in suits, pants or skirts.

Or go whole hog and require everyone to wear grey coveralls when in office.

Institutions with dress codes generally have less BS distractions because the distractions simply can't exist.

How Much Do You Pay for the Back Pain Management in Canada
> I looked into getting a HSAs through my consulting LLC last year due to the tax benefits, but my current (day job) employer plan includes a mandatory HRA.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure those are entirely orthogonal. You can have both an HRA and an HSA.

An HRA is exclusively employer-funded. An HSA is something you can enroll in if you have a high-deductible health plan. You can have an HSA through your employer or independently, and either you or your employer can contribute to your HSA, subject to the annual cap.

There is also the FSA, which is similar to an HSA, except the money expires at the end of each year. Confusingly, if you have an HSA, you can have an FSA, except then the FSA can only be used for a very small set of expenses, rather than the full range that FSAs otherwise allow.
R for Big Data in One Picture
> If you lose a lot of bad people then retention is not a bad thing.

Bad people in a company means there's a hiring problem, which ultimately is a management problem.

Losing lots of people means the pay is too low or the bullshit is too high, and both of those are management problems as well.
Sounds like someone used floating point to store currency. Bad idea, unless it's part of a macroeconomics model or something.
