She acts like if you get an internship at a unicorn, that interns shouldn't put in 100 hours and get paid for 40. How the hell are you going to secure long-term employment with a good company when jobs are scarce? Does she know that we are in a de-facto economic depression? This isn't a boom in the economy. There are a glut of new grads and many of them are easily expendable. For the wheat-tier of developers, they may have "no problem" with their "free burritos" and "20% time off" but for the VAST, VAST FUCKING majority of new grads and people transitioning to a new career or pivoting, this is a tough, tough fucking time. This is as much the fault of the _economy at large_ than it is at Uber. If you think that that problem of overworked/underpaid interns is not endemic and is merely an isolated case at Uber than you are frankly really, really stupid. I stopped reading the article the minute I read that. Are you kidding me? How can I be charitable when they're making arguments like that? If I EVER. EVER. Got an internship at a unicorn, I would bleed to survive. Not with the economy the way it is. It's a dog-eat-dog world right now and there's no room for slacking off. I may want a Marxist utopia privately, but that doesn't mean I should ignore the reality of the world that I live in.
There are many people who would disagree with your thoughts on economists being rigorous - at least about data that is relevant.

For instance, this article ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theatlantic.com/amp/article... ).

After a quick peruse of their github repository I have to say there is some dodgy[1] stuff going on.

As ever with PHP sites validation seems to be a mess. For example we've got a `escapeSupplierName` function[2] used in some places[3], but a different regex used when creating a suppier[4]. Variants of that regex also appear all over the code, why not put it in a single place?

Properly escaping SQL injection is great (and something PHP apps seem to have a continual problem with), but why did you decide to roll your own framework for doing this? Are all of the well maintained, tested and great ones already available not suitable for some reason? It's just your app turns into a hard to check, inefficient[5] sludge, full of lots of code for handling framework related things like an ORM, caching[6] (that code is practically duplicated in a lot of places[7][8][9][10]), escaping[11], mime whitelisting[12] etc and not much about a CMS. This is where security bugs appear.

This is great. Also worth noting in the UK, accessibility features for web pages are required by law (EQA, DDA). In the US, RAA 1998 is the similar legislation. Most govt agencies and private-sector businesses are required by law to provide accessible web pages, or face lawsuits and/or fines.

TL;DR: all sites of reasonable size (govt and otherwise) should follow WCAG 2.0.

The sad part here is that Linux is actually really good for that by design (if you take the time to understand Unix permissions).
I know I could Google and read about some experiences but since this made me think about it... have any of you HN'ers tried to virtualize OS X or run it virtualized (on anything other than an OS X host) on a regular basis?

I've got a (still pretty new) high-end MacBook Pro sitting at the end of my desk but -- after putting together a new, extremely over-built workstation a few months ago -- I haven't even turned it on since I don't know when. I've got KVM/qemu, VMware Workstation, and VirtualBox all installed on my workstation, though, and it might be interesting to try to get OS X running under one of them.
> My only issue is that I have only ever run snow leopard on it and now chrome no longer has updates, so I need to move to ... mavericks maybe ? I feel like mavericks is the most stable/sane OSX release since SL ...

This will obviously depend on the hardware/software you use but Mavericks was the buggiest and worst OS X release on my rMBP. I was rebooting weekly due to weird graphics drivers glitches and inexplicable OS slowdowns. El Cap had a rough start, but was fine after a couple point releases. I've had no issues whatsoever with Sierra.

With everyone salivating at shoving ads in peoples faces at every opportunity, not doing so is probably 'leaving money on the table' for MS. It sucks that digital advertising is a moneymaker. IMHO it would be beneficial for the tech world if Google/FB become unprofitable.
I've done this before to work on my own projects. It turned out fine for me but obviously you won't be making money during this time so you may be set back on things like buying a house.
APL is a language that confuses the hell out of me, and I hate that. I wish there was more guidance online to using it, since I find the paradigm to be very interesting.
Just to clarify, this is basically the same exact thing that macOS does with regards to storage.

I've just finished reading (finally) Ben Horowitz's Hard Thing About Hard Things.

I'd suggest trying Fedora in a VM at some point. IMO, it's the closest Linux has come so far to a cohesive (graphical) experience. I actually found myself using a bunch of features which I'd ignored in macOS when I switched because of how well they work in together. As long as the manufacturer supports generic drivers(which they really should) most things should just work.

This doesn't make any sense to me. There's literally no correlation between "made by kids" and "doesn't have www", and no reason why anyone would ever make that association. You've provided what appears to be a bullshit justification for a completely unsubstantiated and fairly outlandish claim.

On early pre-production Atari vector games, you could burn a hole in the phosphor all the way to the glass if you left the electron gun active too long without moving the beam. They added a "spot killer" circuit that turned the beam off if you left in place too long.

(From "The Secret Life of XY Monitors": http://www.jmargolin.com/xy/xymon.htm)
I'm at a top-2 business school right now. The wealthiest guest speakers we have are private equity partners and others in the investment professions. My classmates leaving school joining or resuming those professions stand to make a lot of money in base salary. Then top it off with bonus and "carry" in the next 5-10 years, and you're talking big bucks. Even those going into consulting for a top-3 firm, if you make partner in 7 years, will have an incredible salary.

But financial wealth isn't about your salary - I.e. Via your nonscalable labor. It's about putting the money to work once you get it. Finance excels at this for two reasons: leverage and equity. Similar to startups actually...buy one could argue without all the risk.

There is survivorship bias in the stories we hear to be sure. But if you truly only care about wealth, your best bet is to somehow make your way into finance.

To be perfectly honest, it's rock 'n roll, not church choir music.

Rock 'n Roll used to be dangerous music performed by minorities before the Civil Rights Movement, and listened by rebellious teenagers, before it was co-opted, watered down, and packaged up. If you're not listening to Chuck Berry, and you don't pick out innuendos, you're not listening hard enough.

The Sex Pistols covered Chuck Berry - the bassist was a heroin addict that killed his girlfriend, then himself.

The Beatles covered Chuck Berry - John Lennon is not looked upon with a positive light given how he treated his son and first wife.

The Rolling Stones covered Chuck Berry. People have been murdered at their shows.

Rock 'n Roll is filled with the causalities of unstable, chemically dependent, suicidal people. Chuck Berry was Rock 'n Roll.

I just find it different to rent me content transparently, eg Netflix and Spotify, versus rent-by-pretending-to-sell, eg Steam.

If you sell me something, I should be able to use and transfer it at my discretion without your permission. Steam, instead, leases you something on no fixed term and presumably without any guaranteed lifetime.

I got Snow Leopard running under VMware a few years back. It 'worked', in that I could do most things, but sound was glitchy, and updates would regularly break things.

My ultimate answer was just to give up on Apple on the desktop and stay in the Windows/Linux worlds. I'm just not going to invest any further time on a system that is owned by a company that clearly doesn't care about it, and is actively hostile to attempts (like virtualization) to use the system in a larger context.

My main and continuing complaint with the Ribbon is that using it is slow. It encourages mouse usage and if you have to use a mouse for an operation, the operation is slow.

Not to mention that the action of the Ribbon is kind of seizure inducing as the entire thing is in constant change as various objects are selected thereby unhiding specialized menus.

I've taken to minimizing the entire Ribbon so I don't have to see it, requiring me to re-learn and re-memorize the multi-key keyboard shortcuts since they are different than the 2003 version.

If I could kill the Ribbon with fire, I would.

For people who like dead comments: get the Windows (N) LTSB Enterprise edition. It's not _just_ the LTSB edition.

Some perks to note of:

* No bloatware

* Updates every 60-90 days (as opposed to the oppressive every 5-7 days); choice to reboot auto or not.

* No Windows Media Player

* No MSFT Edge; Only Windows Explorer classic

* Classic calculator

* No Windows App Store

* No background apps

* No upselling shenanigans annoying my experience

* No MSFT cloud

* Cortana is removed completely not disabled

* Mission-critical updates only...avoids needless flair in favor of stable security.

* Never seen an ad ever.

All in all, I would highly recommend it. For those that can see dead comments: you're welcome.
Your only real issue would be with Broadcom drivers(they aren't too bad though). I tried Fedora a while ago and everything worked from my first boot up(including keyboard backlights). Honestly, I'm not too worried about Apple and privacy/advertising for now, after they made photos.app do image processing on decide, and the lack of current iOS exploits in Vault 7.
Also, the father of one child ended up commiting suicide IIRC. Most of us think it was guilt of using his kid as blackmail.

Also I've read MJ caved in settling because the constant lawsuit exposure was a career death sentence. No matter how just or unjust it would be, settling was the only liveable option for him.

The oddest part of MJ's defense on the subject were the few interviews were he would appear quite confused. But there's his personality under pressure, after a time it's quite possible he was just stuck into a corner and couldn't express himself.

For such a celebrity under so much scrutiny I'd side with him, nobody managed to find sufficient proof.

Both macro and microeconomic theory contain plenty of holes.

Critiques of efficient and rationale markets by Arrow and Stiglitz come to mind in the latter, as well as much to call into question rational actor theories. There's been significant work since the 1950s on information in economics, mostly concerning risks and asymmetries. I'm seeing a further area that may be available for development by finding an underlying mechanism to Gresham's Law, which seems to me to underly a number of further interesting phenomena.

There's also the fundamental misallocation of true and real costs in natural resource economics, based on a series of decisions tacitly made in the period 1880 - 1940, roughly, many of which turn out to have little bearing on reality.

The failure of economics to account properly for the role of energy (there are those who have: R.U. Ayres and Charles A.S. Hall among them), combined with the misattribution of fossil energy costs, is particularly pronounced and makes a mockery of virtually all present pricing models.

These all fall within the domain of micro.

Problems within energy, healthcare, housing, education, and manufacturing sectors are all concerned with microeconomic factors.

Philip Mirowski's More Heat than Light and numerous of Ha-Joon Chang's works address microeconomic conundrums.

>So by your logic they are 'bribing' the journalist and 'paying them off' by 'giving them a scoop'?

Yes, it happens often. Journalists get paid with scoops, etc (aka in the industry as "access") and that buys some favorable pieces and a sympathetic ear on the other side.

Here's an example (there are countless others from all parties and from tons of companies):
http://gawker.com/this-is-how-hillary-clinton-gets-the-cover...

>Ergo - every decent news story amounts to 'bribery'?

Where did you came with this weirdo conclusion?

Bribing a journalist/media with scoops if something that happens, not something that ALWAYS happen -- so it doesn't apply to "every decent news story".

For one, not every scoop has been leaked to the outlet breaking it by the company/organization that the scoop is about.

>I think you bit your tongue on that one.
