Thanks, you touched on an important point for me.

Workers are expected to have 110% output all the time, and nowadays to even work on nights and weekends. Arguing for pure ethics on the worker side of things while ignoring the unrealistic expectations from the employer side seems almost delusional.

That said, I love my employers, love my job, and I know they love me and the work I do. I'm also a non-trivial shareholder in my company. I am incentivized to do well. But everything is a transaction, including the information we share with each other, and learning to optimize this transaction so it benefits both my overall work process and the results I give my employers is a fine line that I've learned to walk over 12 years in the professional world.

I know how to optimize my output without airing every little detail of my inner workings to the rest of the team.
"An Uber spokesperson said that the stock grant was issued around the time of the Otto acquisition in August 2016, and that it is common for vesting deals to back-date to the formation of an acquired startup." Common? Till 5 minutes ago, I thought stock options backdating was just illegal[1].

A factory won't just casually add a degree requirement. That has implications. In a union environment this may require a higher pay scale. If they increase the minimum standards for a current job they may have to retrain people. There may also be a trickle effect on managers who may too now need degrees. So whereas a startup may just start requiring degrees to weed out candidates, a large employer like a factory (or government) won't do so unless necessary.

I'm just starting that rare job that insists on a "four year degree plus other post-graduate education" but isn't specific as to which degrees they want. That really cuts down on candidates. Of the dozen interviews, I will instantly be higher up in the organization than ten of the people who interviewed me. They didn't take the education requirements lightly.
Is it actually Google or is there some unicode trickery going on?

Both part time and low paid workers are protected by the same labor laws as full time workers in the U.S.

Maybe I am not understanding, can you say what rights are you speaking of specifically?

They would have more protections and rights than an "offshore" employee would have I imagine.
My point was how thin the order book turned out to be. This is why the Bitcoin price is so ridiculously volatile. Single trades, even on the Chinese exchanges, frequently send the price up or down tens of dollars.
Well, but this means that my E-mails are sent to your server. While I do believe your best intentions, history shows that even the best of intentions do not survive ownership changes, and that breakins do happen.

Companies are private enterprises who's main purpose is to make a profit. They don't hide money offshore, they move money wherever it's not taxed as much. And the EU is pretty rough about that stuff anyway, especially when it comes to US corporations.

Car manufacturing is also a rather tough business to be in today - definitely not the money hiding type, but rather the "we build a factory in <insert industrial town with unemployment here> if you give some sort of tax break for a couple of years".

It's got odd scrolling. If the mouse is over the top banner, and you scroll the scroll wheel (or I assume pull down on mobile?) then the page doesn't scroll (this is on Chrome, on Windows 10).

The scrollbar is also hidden behind the top banner in some way, which suggests it's doing something non standard.

Why do people want to fiddle with the most basic UI/X idiom on the net?

Levandowski has been invoking the Fifth Amendment in this case, which is a case that he's not even a party to. That's either legal gamesmanship, or else he has a genuine fear of prison time out of this. (Alternately, it might be possible that he could lose a big chunk of money but avoid prison.)

If he comes out of this still holding a big chunk of money, but having to spend several years in prison, is that still "coming out of this really well"? In my view, no.
Tell HN: PSA, don't grant access to “Google Docs”
There's a phishing scam going around that sends emails via people you know sharing a Google Doc with you. Don't OAuth into it. It asks permissions for sending/deleting/managing your Gmail emails. Then it sends the same email to all of your contacts. If you did fall for it, go to account permissions[1] and revoke access to "Google Docs".

From what I can tell, it's actually Google, but then they redirect you to a malicious URL after auth/approval
I added a padding on the div element because the text stretches too wide on my display. Other than that, it's fast and readable. the only improvement i can think of is max-width:80vw or something like that.
I can't say how much I learned in the class, but I was taught cooking in a US public school, which included etiquette, dishwashing, and table service.

That class was one semester, and it was paired with another one-semester class that taught silkscreening, drafting, welding, wood joinery, and aluminum casting. This was, I think, in 7th or 8th grade.

WTF are they teaching in schools these days if not how to make pancakes correctly and clean as you go?
Yes, it's phishing. More discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/692cr4/new_google_d...
It is their definition of "hostile" that is the problem. They do not explain. I suspect it means "I can't track you, so you are hostile." Otherwise, where is the data for this?
Not seeing that weirdly. Could it be "google chrome"?
I usually like Nautilus articles, but this one felt rushed, and didn't seem to dig in deeply at all to the issue of how our legal codes were shaped. It feels like the title could drop the word How and communicate as much information as the article did.
I wonder if anyone would ever be willing to link this up to a personal website and publicly display all transactions live. That would take transparency to a whole new level. Call me crazy but I feel compelled.

Ask HN: Any payment processor woes?
I'm about to choose a payment processor for my US based SaaS company. I will host the credit cards off-premise at the processor to avoid intense PCI audits, and take advantage of built-in recurring billing/subscriptions.

My two top contenders are Stripe and BrainTree.

I've worked with Vantiv, and Authorize.Net in the past.

What are some of the sufferings you've experienced with a particular payment processor? Any advice to heed, whether on API difficulty, or customer service?

All horror stories welcome.
They'll probably just end up turning off service over certain geographic areas.

Schengen residents returning to the area from trips outside of it surely pass through border control and immigration screening?

My most recent travel to Europe took me through Madrid and Copenhagen on the way to London - I recall seeing everyone (EU residents and non EU residents) waiting in line to clear immigration into the UK. On those same trips I also flew through France and Germany - those were all like domestic US flights without any additional screening but the UK definitely seemed to screen everyone. I also know multiple EU residents/family members who have had similar experiences with UK immigration being less than friendly when returning from the US.

Google also suggests that many EU countries have reintroduced border checks due to security concerns - https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/what-we-do/policies/border...

Passing from one state to another in the US doesn't involve any stop or screening.

In Go, errors are just values, and `error` is just an interface. If some data (e.g. stack traces) is helpful to you then make it part of your error implementation.

I'm not entirely opposed to Dave Cheney's errors package but in general I think it's trying to be too clever and novel. If anybody wants to unwrap the errors you return, they have to basically buy into that package and its ecosystem. It's strongly coupled to itself, and that's a bad design choice IMO.

We've been fine-tuning error logging and handling for decades. We ought not reinvent the wheel solely because new language constructs are available. My opinion is that structured data and not "errors with behaviors" wins every time, especially when you're building distributed systems and you are going to need to slice/dice your logs when you investigate problems.

This is a stark contrast to what people felt was going to happen when Trump announced he was running. How could Mark Zuckerberg possibly win the presidency? All he has behind him is control of one of the most widely used information dissemination platforms in the world and billions of dollars.
I'd suggest you try a standing desk for a few weeks. You can easily MacGyver something together that will be the exact right height for you. Before I committed fully and built a proper stander, I started out with a drawing board on stacked books, and a monitor behind those.

Keyboard should be at or just below elbow height, and the top bezel of your monitor should be at eye level, so your head is very slightly inclined downward. I've read that this has something to do with our hunter gatherer past, that we're built to walk, scanning the ground ahead of us for food. You may want to put some fruit in your line of vision to simulate this
The advice may have Go examples, but is still very generic advice. It's also not really about shipping Go programs, it's about general hardening of programs.

And to mirror a sibling comment, on mobile the ads are interspersed every couple of paragraphs, making it very hard to follow the flow of the article.

Unfairly harsh? Clickbait headline, generic advice (with just enough Go examples to "justify" the title), aggressive styling to hide ads in the flow of the rest of the article... I disagree. I'm perhaps not being harsh enough.
Is that right? The Scala.js compiler emits none of that "run-time metaprogramming" boilerplate that Prepack is good at optimizing away.

In general, I would expect from a compiler to JS not to emit performance killers like that. Any decent compiler to JS should be able to remove its own crap on its own ;)
> The legal system is different than code in a very important way: the law is written to be applied by intelligent people working (mostly) in good faith.

I disagree. Code is also designed that way. The humble admission and responsible actions to secure against abuse are the same. The difference is in the specific interpretation timings. Code is a priori deterministic and law is a posteriori deterministic, with exceptions on both sides (code environment or human interpretation changes).
And in any European country that utilizes fingerprinting, etc...

Did you have a point in specifically calling out the US?
I agree that there are much fewer applications of VR "now", but let's consider its timeline: the first mainstream HMD (Oculus Rift) was released in 2012. Last year (2016) was the first time that hand-tracking was introduced by Oculus and HTC. If anything is holding back the industry right now, it's the lack of content, but keep in mind that we are still incredibly early!

Post-process sintering is showing advantages across several materials. You'll see that Markforged and Desktop metal have introduced integrated processes to control shrinkage in the final parts. You mentioned ADMATEK as well.

The ability to prototype/produce glass parts within an office environment without needing safety equipment is a major improvement!

A sample crawler i wrote to harvest Yelp results, Feel free to gain insight on how it was written. Might not work as yelp might have had cosmetic changes. But the theme would help you write one on your own !
https://github.com/deepanprabhu/yelp-crawler .

I also have an advanced scraper, than can harvest AJAX heavy site like http://venture-capital-firms.findthecompany.com/. I completely scraped their site, using a chrome plugin, exporting results through a web server. Kind of a complex procedure as we have to be inside a live browser to hijack their results. The VC site, even avoid headless browsers so it was tricky.

I can share the code, in case you are interested.
And scaling scraping, is an interesting process.
Hmm. Unroll.me is owned by Slice, I wonder if Slice has a different policy regarding selling aggregate user data (since it also scans your inbox, but to find shipping and delivery emails).

This article should be taken as motivation one. That even greatest Elon had "bad" times. But those bad times weren't that bad comparing to regular people failures, as he maintained millions on his bank account even at those times. Once he was close to lose almost all, when Tesla needed investment and there was literally nobody who wanted to invest into it. So Elon gambled almost all his fortune to save Tesla. This means only one thing, he don't care about pilling money that much. He is driven by something else.

You mention Gibson's original vision of cyberspace (maybe you mean a decker's hallucinatory tiaras), and also his locative art theme in one of the Blue Ant books - but I wonder if VR is closer to the AR goggles in Virtual Light. I never totally understood what they were capable of in that book. Perhaps a kind of Google image search for meatspace, that could sense ambient IoT devices?

It's true that there are lots of white-hat hackers, but there are also lots of black-hat ones, many of them, I gather, associated with criminal organizations -- and as Retric points out, the Internet allows attacks to come from anywhere on the planet.

I have a Google Pixel and Google Daydream and am an Android programmer.

If you have these things you can go into Google's Daydream store and download some Daydream apps, free or paid. I have done so and virtually every app has a logo somewhere said made with Unity. Each app seems to be multi-platform - it is made with Unity, and exported to Google Daydream, Oculus, Gear VR etc.

I programmed a basic OpenGLES shape in Android Studio for Daydream, but there was a lot that was lacking. I suspect most people will use Unity, and target the various VR platforms.

So in general, the answer is you need a platform Unity is on. Which in production is MacOS and Windows, although they have a Linux beta from what I understand.
There seems to be certain momentum behind VR development, but I'm afraid it will fizzle out on mass market. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it (talk about VR) reminds me a lot of talk about VR in 90's, just on a larger scale. I hope I'm wrong, I just don't see it now for some reason. Maybe if it dies out a bit and then another wave comes around with improved tech and maybe riding on the haptics of the future... who knows. As for AR, I don't see it at all. I just don't see it living outside of commercials with happy people clicking on their phones. What I'm sure is that VR, dead or not on the mass market, will continue to live on in niche varieties (as it did after 90's fizzle out) like job trainings (space, military, medicine..) and such.
Yeah, I just don't understand how so many people fail to see the most obvious solution: default and stop paying interest. Sure, you're credibility will be lost for now, but then you can slowly build it back up again since you're no longer burdened with paying back the defaulted loans. Its not magical: as it currently stands, Greek economy is going to die a slow protracted death anyways.

Biased "junior level inquisitors" might not be all that bad as long as they represent a spectrum of biases and are reliably kept from specializing on opinion bubbles relevant to their personal bias.

This is wonderful, thank you! I appreciate that there is a subgrouping color such as "blue" under the hex codes, it really helps for colors with names that are not related to the base color.
These are different situations: the practice of options backdating you linked to refers to the strike price of employee stock options, while the article refers to the vesting date of founder shares in an acquired company. (If you don't understand vesting, it basically means that you don't actually receive the shares and gain the ability to sell them until the vesting date occurs. Typically stock options are granted at hire, but they might vest over a 4-year calendar, with you receiving 1/4 of the shares at the 1 year mark and 1/48 of the shares each month thereafter.)

When a company is acquired, it's often structured as a stock swap where all the founders/investors/employees of the acquisition forfeit their stock in the startup, and in return receive stock in the acquiring company, worth whatever the acquisition price is. It is common for vesting dates on the acquirer's stock to be backdated to the date of employment at the acquisition (which for a founder would be the date of company formation). If they didn't do this, think of how screwed founders & employees would be with every acquisition: you thought you owned $X worth of stock in the company, but actually you own nothing, and you have to work at the acquirer for 4 years to earn back the stock you previously had. (Oftentimes, there might still be a cliff anyway, where you have to work at the acquirer for 6 months or a year anyway to receive the shares you thought you owned.)
