I've said it before (in fact, I've given entire presentations on it :) - technical managers are the "Bard" class, if you play D&D.

It's at its core a multi-skill/prestige class, it's really hard to learn to do right, everybody makes fun of them ("hey guys, I found the bard!"), a successful party really needs them - and the way they make things happen is by augmenting the rest of the party subtly.

Which means you need to dump a whole lot of skill into Charisma, and up your game of fascinate.

(If you don't play D&D, apologies for totally nerding out. If you do, leveling up a Bard and becoming a manager is really surprisingly similar. Just don't bring a lute ;)

Very cool, just need to add a centralized server feature, might have to fork this and try that.

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! (I'm a Beeminder cofounder.) I'm actually also not sure what you mean about embedded domain-ideas, or I hadn't heard it put that way. Do you mean the domain idea being aligning daily to-dos with long-term goals by use of a commitment contract? And then our clever implementation is how we tie the commitment to datapoints on a graph? That's what we think is clever. But I'd love to hear your take on it (also I'm sure it would be more compelling from a user than a founder :)).

@ altstar and colatkinson

Why do you think Sweden has been burnt down to the ground as a VERY successfull alternative (using social democracy) combining democracy (weaving in plutocracy/conservatism), socialism and capitalism. The Swedish model is more relevant now than ever before though at this time the think tanks (like Timbro) in Sweden has muddled the water about what the Swedish model actually is.

The next step upwards has allready been taken and it's not the immigration brought on by conservatives (who introduced the multicultural term in sweden) or social democrats failing to handle the zero (read; population) growth economy.

Keynes > Friedman the last regressive and his followers; Thatcher (who knew about the pedophilia ring in UK and did nothing) and Reagan.

* About Sweden burning, read up on the Swedish debt and when/how the majority was attained.
* Yes, Sweden had a good position after WWII, however the progress of the nation started in the 1800 not second half of 1900.
* Right now the battle for democracy over plutocracy is ongoing in EU, that is the real reason people supported Brexit - not the "new" grander template for effectively being a "modern" tax haven (nor the NWO). Without borders you canno't upkeep democracy - without economical sanctions (executive power) to back up political decisions (normative power) there simply is no actual democracy.

The first step is corporativism, the key to it is having a functioning democracy first (that means roots have to rise, aka shit will pass it's tipping point), where effected groups discuss and have influence over the executive side (how should a political decision come to life) of decisions that the goverment gets elected on and that those are actually followed.

In Sweden SN (Swedish industry representatives) broke that deal and ended the joint progress in that manner, that lead to more moderate policies and companies being overtaken of global gigants - shifting work from the nation and slowly, slowly deteriorating the quality brands. It also lead to value flowing out from Sweden at an increased rate, decreasing national monetaric value.

* Don't get me wrong trading is positive, it increases the incremental technological evolution until markets stagnate alot, but some areas are better kept up to ensure other markets function - by using societal efficient institutions - aka universal institutions. Solving the tragedy of the commons.
Why does he say alarm is always the wrong answer? I've used alarm to kill the current process after a user-selectable timeout if it's taking too long, and it seems to work fine.
Good question! I will check.

Edit: ok, I think I know what happened now. A moderator put 2010 on the title by mistake. I haven't checked the timestamps on the user flags, but it's possible that people flagged the article because they thought it was old, in which case the title change would have acted as a moderation penalty even though obviously we didn't mean it that way. I was wrong to say "moderators never saw it" because I checked the log for moderation penalties, found nothing, and didn't look for title changes. So I made a mistake too.

We're sorry for the mistake. I don't recall this particular thing ever happening before, but plenty of other moderator errors have. We try to admit them and correct them as soon as we know about them.
This either/or between effort and genes is ridiculous.
Isn't it possible that something interesting is happening between those 10,000 hours? Isn't is possible that successful families not only instill success in their offspring through special training, but also suppress success in other people's children? Nobody here is talking about the role of tripping your opponent as he approaches the finishing line, or of the first born queen bee murdering her rivals before they're born. We're far too focused on positive attributes of competition.

The point is that the post wasn't swallowed in the usual sense. We now know that the original post fell drastically because it was being flagged by users.
A job is the means by which you convert human capital to financial capital. If taxes are raised on direct compensation, this conversion becomes less efficient. Talented executives would likely exploit opportunities to earn stock at artificially low valuations. You can do this by joining startups or private companies who typically have more flexibility with valuations. This could make public companies relatively less attractive to talent, and they could suffer as a result. To the extent that retail investors and pension funds have more access to public companies than private companies or startups, they could suffer as well.

If you theoretically limited all compensation then you would distort the market in other ways - beyond a certain amount of cash and stock compensation (taxed at confiscatory rates), I would start to optimize for things like multiple secretaries, nepotism, a massive office, and other items which wouldn't necessarily help the business.
If Swedish Americans are a bad comparison to Swedes in Sweden, then surely comparing non-Swedish Americans to Swedes in Sweden is even worse.
What's with the racist comment? Is it just a reference to one of the reasons for leaving being the refugee crisis?
She was hired by people who agreed to pay her that under the conditions they did - those people didn't consider it grotesquely obscene and it was their decision - the only "problem" I see here is that you believe your opinion on her compensation and performance should matter. It's literally none of your business (even if you were an employee, and as a stock holder you could have voiced your opinion by selling, hell you could have even bet against them)
Once you've added machine A to machine B, you should see a prompt on machine A to add machine B.

From the rough numbers I could find in a FIFA document, if you even play soccer by their definition, you're in only 4% of global population.

That includes schools, street football, and occasional players. If you drop the occasional part? About 2% of global population. That's still including schools and street games, corporate teams, etc.

So, just playing with any seriousness puts you in the top 2% of global population for soccer.

If you're a registered player, it cuts the number down to 1 in 4. So about 0.5% of global population. Im not sure registered players are, as a rule, better, but someone who is a serious player and registered stands a good chance of being top 1% globally -- something I think anyone with effort could do.

Being a professional soccer player puts you at about 1 in 100,000 globally, and 1 in 1,000 of people who play more than occasionally. (And 1 in 2,000 of people who play at all.)

I suspect that this is because I only looked at the NFL, which would be more like only top-tier teams, not all professionals.

The point being: the numbers actually are pretty darn close, and soccer seems to confirm my point about top 5% being relatively doable and top 1% being just effort.
The most promising front against ad blockers is forcing users to access your content with an application you control. That's why more and more websites want you to install their apps (Google search is installed by default on lots of android devices). It's very unfortunate that the incentives of users and content creators / advertisers aren't aligned very well and we will probably end up with most content creators dumbing down their web experiences in favor of better mobile applications.
Its absurd for the highest paid employee to be paid more than 10x the lowest.

It's not like a CEO is a hundred times smarter than the people one level below. The reality is that any of the executives could do the same job. At larger companies, what the hell is the difference between managing a division of 500 people or the whole company of 2500? Once you get to numbers that big it doesn't make a difference.
> I am only 23, but I imagine I wouldn't have issues being managed by someone my age if I were 33. However, I know that I'd be pretty shit at management right now...

When you get to 33, look at the 23 year olds around you, and imagine taking direction from them.

Imagine them making blatantly/obviously poor decisions, and understanding that because of these decisions you may very well be out of a job in 6 months.

Imagine there are half a dozen or more folks in your org that have been in similar situations, and they all have experience in "domain X", and are available to be probed for info/insight on domain X to help avoid poor decisions. Now imagine them all being completely overlooked because they're "old" (40) or aren't in the "circle" of the 23 year old manager/ceo.

There of course are exceptions to these scenarios, but they tend to be just that - exceptions. Most 23 year olds simply do not have the depth of experience needed to understand how and when to best use the folks around them. Think about this when you're 30, 33 or 40, and revisit the idea of being "managed" by a 23 year old.

This doesn't mean no one younger can ever manage anyone older - not by a longshot. But it's not trivial, and getting it 'right' takes a lot of work.
1. Downvotes after Xkarma you can downvote frontpage items

2. Flags _soft_ downvote people unlock easiers

3. Mods have a ""super"" flag which is the ranking equivalent of aging a post pre-maturely. So the weighting algorithm calculates the post as being much older then it actually is allowing it to slide off the front page faster.
> built on mutualism

Was it?

I mean, that's how it's taught in schools, but how well does that reflect the actual history? Certainly it doesn't represent the UK's history with Ireland, which really isn't taught in schools. That's how people like Melanie "wrong about everything all of the time" Phillips can write national newspaper articles in which Ireland has a "tenuous claim to nationhood".

This is kind of the problem, we have all this national mythos that runs up to about 1966 and then stops. And it doesn't bear scrutiny in the modern age. The last attempt at building a national narrative that worked for everyone was the Blair era "cool Britannia", and half a million dead Iraqis took the shine off that a bit.

Not to mention the inward focus of Unionism. Everyone looks towards London, but London doesn't look outwards. Occasionally it dispatches a foreign correspondent to Manchester to report on conditions. The average English person thinks of Scotland little and NI not at all.
I appreciate your concern but I've been online long enough not to get scammed, or at least I hope so. Paypal actually didn't have the decency to send me an email saying they need more info to lift a limitation. I was only made aware of the limitation when I logged in to my account and saw on a notification telling me they need more info. As much as I hope this was a simple phishing scam it's actually just the shady way Paypal does business. There are thousands of complaints on the BBB website against them!

Because then people know what they are using. And that is more valuable then fixing simple compiler errors.

I'v seen programs that have an "uberinclude", usually named "common.h" or something like that, that includes not only standard libs but also other headers. It is horrible. There is no way to understand what code written with that mind-set is doing, other then slaving over a notebook trying to make sense of it. Granted all encompassing/nested headers don't mean unreadable code. But from my experience with my own code, clear and separate headers (including standard ones) make me write clear and separate .c files.
Not gonna deny that my support for the SNP is heavily influenced by my large dislike for tories. Seems like an awful stretch to call that racism though.

I bet that now, CIA can do it much more stealthily.

And I also think that it is pretty hard to make these 1980's workstations secure -- that old DOS software was full of vulnerabilities, and it has no modern protections at all (usernames, kernel mode). I remember back at high school we had "1980s style set of workstations each accessing things from the floppy drive." and they were full of viruses. And once you have your code on target computers, you can exfiltrate data pretty easily (emit right patterns with pc speaker, memory access, display, etc..)

US nuclear C&C systems still use 8 inch floppies: http://time.com/4348494/pentagon-nuclear-floppy-disks/

So, 3.5" floppies are probably used in much more modern weapon designs. Perhaps orbital lasers or something. /s
Yet somehow everytime I see these fairly dramatic predictions about the US losing its petrodollar and the dollar collapsing or banking moving to $other_country, $cryptocurrency, etc or everyone switching to the Yuan or Ruble, etc they are almost always wrong.

I think you're dismissing how powerful inertia is in the financial sector and how the EU needs the UK and as such will work out agreements to keep things going. London wealth and banking is most likely very safe. Remember, London as the premier financial center of Europe predates the EU by a few hundred years. It is not an outgrowth of EU membership.
come on, essentially the entire Western political structure was on the side of remain

they even shipped Obama over
It could be organizations in the US itself. I remember somewhere that the military was still requriing 3.5 floppies at least within the last 5 years. (no, I'm not talking about the nuke software that uses the bigger floppies)
My pleasure. If you do decide to integrate it let me know.

"Exhibit C: Our site works when the engineers go on holiday"

The road to your codebase is paved with forged assertions
That's a good point you make. But that's also why we have a formal system for making logical arguments. Critical essays which break things down into a premise, arguments, and a conclusion. This allows anyone to challenge anyone else without falling prey to the bias of deferring to authority.

Thus we can and should challenge writers and pundits, but probably from the perspective of first asking if they are making a logical argument or an emotional one instead of making it about their experience levels

The experience wouldn't exist without flagging in the first place. They're an integral part of HN's system, without which it would be overrun with spam, sensationalism, and other kinds of posts that don't belong here.

It's true that the effect of flags isn't perfect in every way, but we have to evaluate this on a whole-system level. I'm not aware of any way to make the whole system work significantly better (otherwise we'd have done it already) and certainly getting rid of flags wouldn't be one.
> In the sense that they gave us React and couple JS tools? What are their other "industry leading open source innovations"?

OpenCompute (http://opencompute.org), Hack (http://hacklang.org), Phabricator (now spun off, still OSS, https://secure.phabricator.com), GraphQL (http://graphql.org)...none of these are JS tools, all have had major industry impact. GitHub's entire API, for example, is now GraphQL based. And that's just a small sampling.

I can't quite decide if you're being deliberately provocative or just misinformed.

Thwarted by paywall but why does there need to be a "study" on this? Can't you just gather this info from govt databases?

Yes, but it's not the only thing at stake because you often see more recent and more up-voted posts being below older and less up-voted ones.
I wonder if this is true in China and Japan as well.
Is it really a "reverence" though? When practically everyone and their dog has one, it's the new minimum.
We are completely creatures of habit. That's a pretty great habit that you've developed, Nathanael.

This is a reasonable criticism, but it also feels a bit like the circular argument used for the TPP: "You're talking about the old idea, you need to respond to the new one we won't let you see!" I don't have an example of ongoing collusion, but a week before the wage fixing news broke I couldn't have cited that, either. I could probably muster something about coopting web standards organizations or hypocritical stances on net neutrality, but it would be weak.

I didn't mean to attack Walt for saying "alleging", and I recognize he's talking about consumer-facing issues anyway, but I did think it was a relevant historical note that this was very recently more than an allegation.
The UK isn't "threatening to expel financial services from London". That is some quite astonishing reality reversal.

The EU is threatening to legally force people to move to Europe from the UK if they want to continue selling services there. Neither the UK nor the financial services industry wants that, for obvious reasons. If it happens, it'll be the EU doing it, not a British government.

Here are my notes on getting Kafka running on a system with limited resources (it's pretty easy):

https://kafka.blog/posts/scaling-down-apache-kafka/

It actually runs well in such scenarios, it's just the default settings assume you're going to be running at large scale because that's what it's designed to do.

As other people say, Kafka is overkill for smaller use cases, but using it sets you up to scale if you need it and it gets you thinking in a good way architecturally.
