Identical story for me : left Apple after >6 yrs in hardware, parallelizing optimizing compiler history, excellent reviews, impossible to find transfers internally to leverage grad experience, and internal rules were forcing stagnation, so I left, and don't regret it, though believe in Apple long term too.
There are plenty of reasons that they shouldn't. You may not agree with the reasons but they exist.

Can anyone tell me how common is it in the Bay Area to get opportunities based on your online presence? In India, I have seen that being well connected on LinkedIn is the most significant factor in getting contacted by technical recruiters. Although, blogs and projects are nice to have, but doesn't necessarily mean you'll have more offers on hand.
I think many people use their home offices for other stuff than just work. Maybe it's a spare bedroom for guests or maybe they sometimes place computer games in it. If you get audited, you will have to explain all this. It won't be fun and if the audit doesn't go your way, you are looking at legal trouble.
The new process listen to connections before the old process stop listening. The problem is that the old process can still have new connections queued up. They are lost when its sockets are closed.
Yup, Skeleton is the main inspiration, Wing just provides a bit more: it uses flexbox, has a minimal grid system (one class), and navigation + card components.

I like the idea of not using the same CSS framework, it seems pretty cool, and you can quickly learn about which one suits you best.

Glad to see Wing is on your list :D

2. Sure, corporations are people too, but, nonetheless, only people engage in civil disobedience. Related, for courts, a company that profits from violating of local laws is not a protester or freedom fighter battling injustice, it is criminal enterprise.

Why do people still argue that? It makes no sense to me, even as a non-lawyer (but I've watched People's Court :))

Otherwise El Chapo could be arguing the same, I believe in people's rights to use drugs so I'm breaking every law in the books and making billions "while fighting for their rights"

Oh yeah, that's definitely using my more optimistic numbers. But if those costs are >10% of your costs (post first year) then you should definitely rethink some things.

If I shoot for high yield (10 oz), 400w @ 0.17 per kWh * (18 hrs * (7 days * 4 weeks)) + (12 hrs * (7 days * 8 weeks)) = 400w @ $0.17 per kWh * (504 hrs + 672 hrs = 1176 hrs) = 471 kWh * 0.12 = $80.02. That's with Northern Lights which would probably go for $1500 per pound, or ~$900 per plant per season. Electricity (well just light, which should be >85% of your electrical costs) would only account for 8% of the production costs.

Infrastructure costs would be amortized and recovered within the first year of full scale operation but just for arguments sake you can source a secure grow inside a $5000 insulated 40' shipping container. Conduit, outlets, panels, grounding, etc. would be $3000 if hired out through Angieslist but if you DIY it, $1000 is feasible. Including a sufficient ~4hr battery UPS. HVAC can then similarly take $1000-$4000 depending on needs and necessities. Totalling out to maybe $15,000?

A 40' container would comfortably do 3 seasons of 40 plants in 1 year, effectively taxing each plant $125 for the first year. The yield would be about 75 lbs @ $1500/lbs = $112,500 in year one. As such, each secure building would only cut 13% of your first years profits... or put another way, 14% of your first years plants' expense.

Granted, these are just Internet numbers. I can speak more candidly and openly offline, but I reiterate -- all of your expenses should be < 10% for an indoor grow op.

Myth. There is not even a single thing you can do with ethereum that you cannot with bitcoin. OTOH, you can do money with bitcoin, but you can't do it on ethereum because neither is it a true blockchain nor is it immutable ledger or decentralised either.
That's a hilariously naive comment.

Historically, diet shakes/meal replacement shakes/etc have been almost entirely sugar, and slimfast is infamous for exactly that.

> if it had that much sugar, it wouldve never gained a reputation for losing weight.

That's not how advertising works. :)

(There is a new variant of slimfast with low sugar, but that's a very recent exception to the rule. Most slimfast is high sugar, and historically all slimfast was high sugar. It's like arguing "coke doesn't have lots of sugar", and linking the nutritional information to diet coke.)
All of your suggestions are more complicated than what you're suggesting replacing. People chain simple commands together because they're a language and it matches how they think of the problem. They're solving the problem with simple commands and pipes, you're trying to solve it with regex and as few commands as possible. All ways are valid but specific commands tend to be easier to remember on the fly than trying to do it all with sed and regexes. I use sed when I want to edit streams, not when I want to filter them. Tr is a simpler replace than a sed regex.

So.. even data-only sims have an actual phone number right? That's baked into the GSM/HSDPA protocols right? (IIRC only WiMAX and LTE allow IP only without a number). So even those data-only plans must still have a number, that either never connects or cost something insane like 100MB worth per-min?
Off-topic, but you seem like you might know: why does text copied from PDFs sometimes have messed-up spaces? It seems to guess where the spaces should go based on kerning, so with justified text, a widely-spaced line may come out with a space between each letter, while a narrowly-spaced one has no spaces at all.

(Also the thing where it inserts line breaks at the end of every print line is maddening)
Message from Mexico #CollaborationTodosSomosUno
Ethereum's ecosystem cannot optimize for running dapps because the true value of its token is dynamically determined byt he blockchain network, for whatever value the minimum of its token provides. For eg, a gas is worth whatever the world wants to pay for it to use it as a unit of calculation on the world computer. To accurately measure the effort spent by the network to ensure the unit value of its token , we need a DMMS algorithm(as described in the sidechains paper) & which is nothing but a proof-of-work blockchain.

Each primitive operation needs its own blockchain for its value to be determined accurately. When multiple token are implemented over a single blockchain, for eg colored/custom coins, it cannot accurately measure the value of a unit.

In case of functional language, one could perhaps imagine a lisp blockchain with paul graham's 7 primitives implemented as an opcode (stack based interpretor is irrelevant), which would be turing complete but will suffer from the problem of determining the true value of each opcode; the cheapest one will always be abused as evident on ethereum (suicide function's cheapness was spammed).
> Representing a person by a country-specific number is a horrible UX

Phone numbers (and physical addresses) are examples of semi and fully federated systems. You use the standard and establish contracts and your teleco or post office and connect to anyone else in the world.

Your Google Hangouts/Skype/Facebook are closed, walled garden, proprietary systems.

Well, nothing beats learning how to make informative decisions in your field, which is something you'll have a much easier time picking up at a university than on your own. Though with all the free video lectures online, the gap is slowly disappearing.

Almost all the practical stuff I use for actual development has been learned outside of CS though. So you could easily have a talented CS degree with middlemanegement skills run an apprenticeship and teach someone how to be a great developer.

You probably couldn't build an entire company around people who cant decipher the shit from the quality stuff though. But a degree isn't a certainty in that department. I've interviewed CS majors who couldn't explain ACID, hadn't heard of SOLID and who also thought the singleton pattern was absolutely vital.
The liquidity comes from the HFT market maker's own money. Market makers are required to post bid and offers of a reasonable level of liquidity in all symbols they are registered to "make markets" in. It may seem like a simple skim off the top operation, but it's not that simple. If they do not maintain their bids/offers, they are disqualified from market making.

If they do maintain them, they reap a number of benefits including discounted pricing from trading platforms and IIRC, the ability to do naked short selling (which IMO should be off-limits for all trading firms). I'm not defending HFT here, just stating a fact that market makers are a part of the trading ecosystem.

Keep in mind that "making" and "taking" liquidity is not the same thing as buying and selling. Market makers are required to post both bids and offers. The difference is that market makers put their orders (buy or sell) on the "book", which means they are offering liquidity in both directions. The order that comes in to match (think "market" order to buy or sell) is the "taker". Firms that supply liquidity are rewarded by trading platforms (unsurprisingly, since those firms "make" their market), and firms that match those orders (takers), are charged for the service.

Not all HFT outfits are "market makers", but many are. I can't say specifically if Virtu is a market maker, even if I remembered :) The point is that liquidity providers don't pay for their trades, they are paid for them, so it's a natural fit for a smart HFT operation.
How to get kids interested in design?
There already are efforts to get kid involved in programming, but what about design? It seems a little harder for kids to even understand what design is and that you can make a career out it, compared to programming. But for a lot of kids I think design is a better match for them than programming. Anyone have any success getting kids interested and started in design? Any resources that help?
Definitely agree. At the trivial level it could cut down on the Java/JavaScript equivalency, and at the higher level is that visibility into how they conduct engineer/non-technical interaction you mentioned (although at that point I don't think the full meaning of non-technical is a fair label).
Actually, Python has the equivalent of open-parens: the colon. What it doesn't have is close-parens, but if you use emacs then it will outdent on PASS and RETURN statements. In my personal coding style I always put PASS statements at the end of block so my code auto-indents properly. Hard-core Pythonistas hate this, but I really don't care what they think.

The problem is that the hidden affordance for navigating the blog website interferes and becomes confused with OS and browser-level touch inputs. This happens on mobile as well as desktop when using a touchpad.

When attempting to pinch-zoom, many times the gesture will activate Blogger's hidden navigation feature, taking one to the next or previous post of the blog. On its own, the post navigation is activated by a swipe either right or left. (And your guess is as good as mine as to which way through blog history each swipe takes you.)

"There might be many biases in this research. If one is able to write code in Haskell it tells a lot about them, and he might be a better programmer than one who writes in Ada or C++."

I'm going to bite as an Ada fan to say this is probably true to a degree since it's a high-level, functional language. Haskell similarly gets slammed in productivity by Common LISP which is high-level, less safe, has fast iterations, and good tools. However, if we're talking apples to oranges, Haskell already failed at doing the kind of low-level, efficient, and/or real-time apps that Ada was designed for vs Ada that makes it straightforward. The House operating system was a celebrated achievement and embedded use Haskell-based DSL's extracted to C for good reasons. Meanwhile, SPARK variant is allowing proof of absence of key errors without people being experts in theorem provers and with most of the efficiency of Ada vs provable ML/Haskell.

Yeah, I'd love to see a bunch of teams trying to write deterministic, safe, and fast software in each of these languages. Let's see about protocol engines, string libraries, real-time apps, high-performance on single cores, lightweight containers, provable absence of problems in component, and so on. I'm betting on Ada 2012/SPARK 2014, C++, and Haskell in that order given attempts to balance all those requirements.

I've worked as part of a larger local remote team for a number of years. I'm dealing with customers, group meetings, or hackfests on about a 3-5 day a month basis. Outside of that, I'm fully remote.

I used to have a garage office, but the last several months the coffee table is the remote office. Soma.fm queued up when I start working. I take breaks for bike rides/lunch/exercise, if I feel the need to be "social", the local brewery (more like park + brewery) has outside seating and friends are there.

Solo - just gauge how much interaction you need and when you need it.
When I was working remote for 12 months I did the same kind of thing. I had the added extra of living alone as well.

It forced me to get up, shower, put clothes on, see some kind of sunlight, even have a tiny bit of face to face interaction with another human at the convenience store/cafe/sidewalk, and then get home, log in, and probably just procrastinate for an hour or so anyway - but at least I was clean and dressed.
A lot of usual situations like moving cash in excess of 10k euros without declaring it have been recently classified as attempts to launder money. In fact this is just how borrow happy states are hunting for taxes nowadays. Eliminating cash is their target. That way they can just take the money out of your account. Just look at India or other socialist states like Sweeden trying to eliminate cash while trumpeting that it's used for "money laundering".

While I'm not sure that I buy the author's advice, I have been thinking about ways in which founders can think outside the box in attracting funding and signaling as part of negotiating a funding round - if they want to go the VC route.

Obviously a huge part of getting the highest valuation and the best terms out of a VC round rest on how the founders can directly sell investors on the prospects for their business by talking about the technology, market, financials/projections, etc...

But negotiating a funding round is still just that - a negotiation. Professional investors are well-aware of this and are strategic negotiators.
From the founder side, I see much less of the type of strategic negotiation thinking than I do on the investor side.

Curious if other agree or disagree.

It is relevant for humans in a legal setting; it is not relevant for corporations.

I did not say that civil disobedience has no legal significance for humans--I said it has no legal significance for corporations. Nor did I say it was a source of sympathy--I said it could mitigate liability or punishment.

While it is not a defense for law-breaking by humans, asserting civil disobedience can mitigate punishment or liability for humans; it cannot be used to do the same for corporations.

Jurisdictions, laws and rules make it difficult to generalize (eg some courts accept some mitigating factors but not others), but I've never come across or heard of any case where a corporation could or did claim "civil disobedience" as a mitigating factor for liability or punishment.
I'm not sure i agree with your example, but i'm just saying, there was an actual criminal investigation if they wanted to play that game.

(Your example is not close to what happened here, as again, that would have been more okay. They did not warn the drivers. They hid the law violating drivers from the cops when they knew the cops were looking for them, and did so to make themselves money. It would be more akin to being able to change what the cop sees so that, at your command, all he saw was people going the speed limit, and nothing else)
