I don't know why many comments about "the customer is clearly an asshole, therefore he deserves the lock not working/the company has the legal rights to do so blah blah" are modded so high right now. Even when the customer is an asshole, that has absolutely nothing to do with a security device betraying him or not.

I'm very glad that the customer is now only denied access to the app. I can see one day a company that sells the "cloud-lock" will allow any thief to get in the customer's door because they left a negative review for the product (and not bragging about their vengeance in a public forum like this Garaget company did). The fact that your lock one day will betray you, or your smoke detector won't sound, your pacemaker will pump differently or your car will make a different ethical decision because the company that sells it thinks that you're an asshole is beyond crazy.

If this isn't a wake-up call to anyone who doesn't realize how dangerous this DRM (Digital Rights Myass) thing is becoming, I don't know what is. This is the can of shit that's just can't wait to hit the fan for those who trust in those cloud-based proprietary "solutions." This is exactly the kind of behavior that Stallman and the EFF warned us against and guess what, they're right again.

I've used Behance and Dribbble with some success. I took the approach of hiring several designers for the same small project. It isn't the cheapest approach, as I paid market rates, but it gave a baseline for comparison, was totally fair, and it resulted in an amazing hire that changed my business dramatically. She also referred another designer to the team from her network that has been fab too.
Function composition is a monoid, but it is not a monad, even though the words sound similar. So it's not really getting them to the same place, but I'm not going to offer any opinion on whether someone needs to study category theory.

Not quite function composition, but given a type a, (a ->) is a monad (the so called "reader monad"). We have

return :: x -> (a -> x)
return x = \a -> x

(>>=) :: (a -> x) -> (x -> (a -> y)) -> (a -> y)
m >>= f = \a -> f (m a) a

(Incidentally, these are two of the Łukasiewicz axioms for propositional calculus.)

It is a functor with

fmap :: (x -> y) -> (a -> x) -> (a -> y)
fmap f m = \a -> f (m a)

In the case x=y, then fmap takes the monoid of functions on x to the monoid of functions on (a -> x).

Venturing into more abstract territory, "a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors of a category C." (This has never helped me with understanding how to use monads in Haskell.) Basically, the choice of endofunctor is the type constructor for the monad, the unit map is `return` and the composition map is `join`.

Jio Money. Bangalore, India. Many Positions. Full time.

We launched on the 15th of Aug and are the top trending app in the Finance section in play store. Approx 20 Million downloads.

The problem scope is large, complex and fascinating problem to crack.

The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this.

In this iteration I am looking to hire functional programmers, data platform engineers and project managers who will work of Bangalore, India.

We are open to hiring people from around the world but they will need to work out of Bangalore.

Looking for full time and in exceptional cases, consultants, welcome.

We also have our payment network baked into banks and mass transit.

In the past I have built both fast-data and big-data companies and have a few patents in this space.

If you are interested, please email me at google's email service - takenottie.

On a side note and for the readers outside India : It also helps to note that Jio, which is our cellular telephony play, launched around the same time, now is the world's largest cellular data network (pumping 22,000 TB per day) and onboards a million customers a day! We now have 110 million subscribers (in ~100 days).
Even if they may or may not had a legit reason I hope so, because iot and cloud based access and control scares the shit out of me, so more company dies stepping this boundary the better the ecosystem will evolve.
Yeah fucking right. According to some bullshit market research company Detroit is ahead even though Tesla is the only company with an easily software updatable car with self driving hardware, and GM recently acquired Cruise for their autonomous tech? Okay, sure. Clearly the financial markets do not agree with this headline.
I lived in the "affordable city" of Portland about fifteen years ago. There was ~5 dev shops to work at. They all sucked. :)

My career didn't turn around until I bailed and went to NYC. It is nice to see that the city has turned around, but I have to confess that I don't miss it in the slightest.
I am not sure what constitutes 'vikingness', but the government, culture and economy was nothing like what I think comes to mind when thinking of vikings.

The viking era ended 400 years before, because of Christianity and the rise of strong kings and kingdoms. (Working together)

They certainly did not call themselves vikings, if some ever did.
I'm googling how to photoshop this image of pampers & kelloggs.
I'm in the opposite boat as you. I am by no means a "fantastic" programmer, but I did indeed receive a job offer for working in NYC a couple of years ago (I now live in an Eastern European capital of about 2 million people). I concluded that living in a shared appt while I'm in my 30s it's not for me anymore, at least if I can avoid it, and there was almost no way for me to live on my own in NYC unless I had commuted from very far away.

I also couldn't fathom putting an entire ocean between myself and all the people and things I love. I see myself living in Berlin, let's say, but living half a world away was just too much for me. I was also well aware of the money I decided to leave on the table when I refused the offer.
It's not illegal. That is just the world always connected devices operate in. What Garadget ought to have done was in a professional tone, offer a refund. If the customer repeatedly use abusive language in the support system, go ahead, deny him service. But until then (and that means Amazon reviews and community forum posts are not counting), leave it running.

Anything else is just opening themself to a shitstorm of negativity.
Yes, and you have to swallow the whole blob as soon as you need any single one of the services. Just want "cloud" messaging for your app? Force anyone who uses your app to install the whole blob. Want just assisted GPS? Too bad, you still force anyone who uses your app to install the whole blob.

If Google had made the services modular, it would probably be easier to replace them with homegrown ones, but they made it a blob because that gives them more power. There are efforts to replace this blob with other manufacturers' blobs (like the one Yandex is working on, or microG) but it looks like this is not easy and it's not going quickly.

We also probably get a typical reverse-engineering situation where Google's services will always be several steps ahead of anything anyone else can offer as a drop-in replacement, so the alternative looks less and less enticing to the average consumer and they'll probably go with the blob :(
Well, whoever made it is really serious about providing support. Look at the community here: http://community.garadget.com

The review might not be abusive, but usually a negative review like that is the cherry on top of a very abusive sundae.

I can almost guarantee the managers improved nothing other than reporting of work. Before they arrived everyone was too busy doing it to tell execs what was happening. If anything I bet tangible productivity is reduced with the introduction of management structure and more detailed reports.

I suspect that the finance industry doesn't have that problem in London. Someone's buying up all the 2mil quid houses (other than oil wealthy investors).
Perhaps it is because I have spent the entire day today trying to mitigate a new user on our web app trying to abuse our service to send out spam, but I am leaning more towards siding with Garadget on this one.

I know that 'being professional' is of paramount importance, but I wish users would remember that every time they send an abusive email to a company, an actual person is on the other end who is going to be receiving, reading and interpreting it. I've been caught hunched over my desk late on a Saturday night (the purported time that the rep received the email) after spending all day debugging an obscure issue in my software, and I can tell you that it won't take much to push my overtired brain to retreat into its 'inner child' mode at the slightest provocation.

In all cases, I am glad I implemented the 'count to 10' rule or just stepped away from the keyboard for a while to gain some time to come back and look at the issue objectively. But often times the delay in responding usually aggravates the customer a little more. Such is the burden for the 'smaller shops' where only one or two people take care of everything from writing the code, to providing support to making the coffee and sweeping the floors.

The spread syntax-Concise way of applying elements to arrays and functions in JS
Usually Internet (and real life) shitstorms are made when two assholes collide. Customer may be an asshole trying to stick it to the little indiegogo guy in a way he knows will have a disproportionate impact. On the other hand, the iPhone app does really suck and crashes constantly. Even big companies can't seem to make reliable software these days. All of that said, you went into business, so time to put on the big boy pants and be a professional. You sold the guy a device that comes with a service, and is useless without it. Don't pretend that you can just cut off the service because you don't like the guy and you've still fulfilled your obligations as a manufacturer.

On a broader note, IoT hardware that you install in your house that needs a service provided by a shaky startup company is going to cease to be a salable product fairly soon as more people get burned by it. We really need a low-attack-surface, standardized protocol to control and monitor these things without the support of the manufacturer. If we could make universal remote controls for AV equipment in the eighties, we ought to be able to make a universal remote control for home gadgets in the '10s.

Aren't these Trump/Bannon attacks predicated on the idea that there's stem unemployment? The unemployment rate in the tech sector is what, less than 3%? Are there large groups of qualified Americans who can't get jobs because h1-b workers took them?
That sounds fishy to me and if Americans aren't getting graduate degrees because of college costs, we can fix that by making college more affordable instead of making it harder to immigrate.

If the issue is salary, we'll call me an old fashioned hacker but I prefer people interested in the pursuit of knowledge at high levels driven by passion for inquiry not monetary reward.

I'd rather not have people enter graduate programs as carpet baggers interested mainly in the salary benefits of the title as opposed to the benefits of learning and researching. That's turning our institutions of higher learning effectively into body shops of another kind.

FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

HEADLINE: Ability to auto-hide the menu bar at the top

Well, he's also offering a refund. Not sure where the problem is in that case with the service provider's response. If you have sh*tty customers it's smart to drop them fast and focus on your good customers.

Dear customer,

We are a small team who don't have the resources to test every single OS version on every device. Problems will happen.

As such we're happy to issue you a refund, and you can keep the device. All we ask is that you let us update the app to make sure it's working on your device, and hopefully others.

Thank you for helping us find the issue. We will work tirelessly until it is fixed. If at some stage you are satisfied we would be delighted to turn your one star review into a five star one.

Kind regards

Use whatever you're comfortable using. As for ideas, I don't think you're going to get any on here. Solve a problem that you have and once more: use what you already know. Don't overthink it. The end user doesn't see nor care what you use.
If you look now, you will see that this is simple not true. Countries with independent aggressive monetary policy did the best. Countries one the Euro that did Austerity did better then those that increased taxes. Maybe in Krugmans fantasy land you can do neither, but most people live in the real world.

The IMF actually apologized to Britain after attacking it about cuts.

It was Krugman that was horrible wrong on the US for example, anybody remember the "fiscal cliff" in 2013? Krugman and friends went large and issued dire warning, he even called it a "test for market monetarism". Not a single blip in GDP was observed and then Krugman promptly denied everything.

> It's genuinely hard to imagine a world where ripping your own CDs to MP3 was considered "grey area information" that you wouldn't want to "touch with a ten foot pole". The '90s was a very different place.

Yes, but you could also argue it was a much freer place, as in wild west free. On the one hand there was a lot of legal scare, surrounding MP3, patents, DMCA, export controls, etc., and a few people actually got into trouble. On the other hand, you could run a illegal Warez or music download site for years with impunity. Everything was in flow. We as a society haven't determined what goes and what doesn't yet. Good times :-).

You can also use a mobile phone number instead of knowing the bank account numbers. This is extremely common in Denmark, including for purchases; the same system exists in the UK but it is less often used.

Correct. 'real' startups (those you would read on techcrunch or hacker news about) are a small fraction. Most of them are 'internet moneymakers' in the wide sense, most don't need the investments, or operating in the grey area (like: arbitrage of porn traffic, various bots, etc), they basically just want interesting IT people to exchange ideas with. They still attract VCs wishing to prey on them whenever possible.

Ok there must be something here as I just laughed at this picturing a game where there's that vending machine containing a ladder that's stuck up a tree, and to get at it you'd have to get a tree from that other vending machine, which turns out to be stowed inside another vending machine, and for that you'd have to get a coin from a dozen or so vending machines that would mostly give you some that don't match the coin you need. The kind of game like Bureaucracy that puts the player into some borderline absurdist rage that soon changes into laughter.
Ok, what I said had nothing to do with violence though. Sounds like you are trying too hard to role-play as an outlaw or a revolutionary. Consider the homeless, they may be out of a job through no fault of their own, and most are non-violent. Even as a last resort, it is not justified for the homeless to hurt people. Violence as a first principle is the folly of ideologues.
