This is not the same (boards/aggregators) as Yelp, HN, Reddit, Stackoverflow or various other user generated content review sites.

This is because most if not all the jobs come from the companies website. They are a search middleman similar to how Google is for almost everything else. They don't provide an ecosystem like say HN, Stackoverflow, Yelp, etc. In some ways they steal the content.

Sites like Indeed are basically doing the same thing that Google really should have been doing.

Now the boards/aggregators tried to provide "ecosystems" but they could never get it right because when people are looking for the job they are desperate and just don't give a... (or at least that is my theory. its also why linkedin works because its is passive).

I have noticed through our metrics (and I'm biased because we make job web sites for companies that hire) that the best candidates (despite what Indeed says) come from going directly to your website or come from LinkedIn (assuming non referral based).

If you are wondering how then Indeed/Career Builder et al do so well its that its hard to measure actual success (ie source to hire). It should be easy but sadly its not (don't have time for the details).

So what these guys provide is ton of traffic with lots of noise. Traffic that google could have easily provided.

So honestly I think it is sort of good they fail.

> will consumers ever see this type of wearable tech again?

Sure. When many thousands of these devices have been produced on a growing economy of scale, when there are multiple options available from various vendors at various price points, when ordinary cellular network speeds and capacities are closer to the wifi in these businesses, when there's education, experience and toolchains for building apps that run on them, and the hardware has been battle-hardened, I'm sure they'll make more sense for consumers.

Computers were first affordable to businesses only - first as mainframes, then as PCs, then again as laptops, and once more as tablets. Consumers didn't buy the first cellular telephones and car phones, businesspeople did. CNC milling machines and rapid prototyping machines were once reserved for specialized, high-technology machine shops, now hobbyists can put a CNC router or 3D printer in their workshop. You used to have to go to a dealer with an expensive computer console when your check engine light came on, now a $10 OBDII reader can read and clear codes for you.

> I guess the battery life issues are still too big for many manufacturers to overcome?

They probably will be a problem for a long time. Unfortunately, battery capacity seems like one of those areas where we're not simply too low on the technology pyramid, it's just a question of raw physics. I would love to see this problem sidestepped by the compromise of making the batteries on these devices easily swappable. Even if they only got 6-8 hours of battery life, I'd happily unclip the battery on the earpiece at lunch or when I get home, swapping in the freshly charged one from my bag. What I don't want is an undersized battery that's glued in and decays down to 60% capacity after 18 months.
4) increased volatility 5) less efficient price discovery

The HFT shops put millions of dollars into research to attempt to ascertain correct prices (e.g. ETF pricing, derivatives pricing, etc). If they are disincentivized from trading in the equities markets, they will no longer be a conduit of relevant pricing information from other global markets into the equities markets. That means investors (big Wall Street firms catered to by IEX) and retail (you and me in our individual accounts) are more likely to be trading mis-priced markets.
The 'Hire' product just launched today actually came from an acquisition, it was not developed internally by Google at all.

It was developed by Bebop, a company Google acquired last year for $380 Million that was founded by Diane Greene (Founder of VMWare). When Google decided to bring Diane Greene on full time to run Google Cloud, they had to purchase her company in order to facilitate that. Bebop originally had aspirations to shake up the enterprise software space by building a suite of applications, and the 'Hire' app was the first one they produced. Bebop employees have been working on it since then and had a long beta period before the launch today. As noted in the TechCrunch article, the 'Hired' platform also runs the Google for Jobs website that launched earlier this year.

He wasn't referring to the "viable" portion. He was commenting on: "[...] but much better than Android in lots of ways."

Indeed, saying something like "much better" is indeed subjective as we don't all agree to it and it's not based on objective facts.
Most language wars happen because people have trained themselves to techniques optimized for one programming environment's cost/benefit trade-offs, then they misapply those to a a programming environment with different cost/benefit trade-offs. Then they start pointless flame wars and pat themselves on the back for being "smart."

It's a bit hard to say to be honest. The wider spreads should make a lot of HFT strategies more profitable. Profitable enough that they can successfully absorb the costs from the tax and not go out of business. You are probably right that this wouldn't be true in all cases though.

Greg from Twilio here.

Agreed on the challenge of working with a fixed number of phone numbers (and I say this as someone who recently moved to NYC and would love to own a 212 number).

In the industry, phone numbers that have a high-volume of unwanted traffic are called "dirty numbers." Think of a number used by someone who signed up for every sweepstakes they came across for 40 years, or maybe a number that's particularly cute (you probably don't want to have a cellphone tied to XXX-867-5309).

If we sold them, dirty numbers would be worse-than-useless for (almost all) of our customers. So, whenever a phone number is released by a Twilio customer, we reserve it for a minimum of two months before it can be purchased by another account. We also monitor each reserved number until it reaches an acceptably low number of phone calls.

If you do find yourself getting unwanted calls, you can use the <Reject>TwiML verb[^1] to create a blacklist - your account won’t receive or be charged for those calls.

> small investors (like you and me)

Uhmm, maybe you, but definitely not me. Most people I know (I agree though, I live outside NYC or any big financial center) don't give a rat's ass about where the market is going, which stocks are good and which are bad. We invest a lot into our 401(k)'s and the rest we put in index funds. So my interests are definitely aligned more with large institutional investors.

BTW my personal investment strategy is not to get some kind of windfall during retirement. The only thing I really look for is that if I saved well, I will have enough to retire on (i.e. not ask for others for monetary help). I just want my funds to not fail.

The point is mostly to show that we consider a lot of things "safe" that are actually really dangerous. We then do those things with absolutely no regard to the people around us. But as soon as someone does something different that's dangerous to pretty much any degree, people start to care. It makes no sense.

We've tried Workable, Lever and about half a dozen other platforms. None of them stuck.

What has worked is to do everything in GitHub.

We wrote about it a few years ago [1] and should probably write an updated version of our approach, but in a nutshell;

- When candidates apply through our online form on our website or via email, we create a GitHub issue and assign it to the right person on our team.

- Everybody on the team gets to see who's applying and can easily take part into the discussion.

- We wrote a few small Chrome extensions that act as helpers for managing applications. For example Gdocs Preview [2], which allows us to display the preview of attachments (i.e. resumes) in the GitHub issue directly.

- We've added some automation with Zapier [3] (and some Python) to do things like;

- Automatically close an issue and email the candidate if we label the issue as "To reject",

- Automatically pull email answers from the applicants in the issue thread,

- Automatically send an email asking people to book an interview time with Calendly [4]

- ...

Now, this works mostly because we're a software company first and we're using GitHub for everything [5]. Additionally, compensations and feedback on applicants are shared with the whole team, not sure every organization would be comfortable with that level of transparency.

The main benefit is that there is virtually no friction for team members to help out with recruitment and share their opinion.

It's also part of our on-boarding to point new employees at their recruitment issue; they get to see what we discussed and how we perceived them through the process.

The real reason the article is unserious is because IEX is basically purpose built to game the execution quality metric they're looking at (effective spread... trade price vs NBBO midpoint). Imagine you built a dark pool that only executes at the midpoint of the NBBO. It would have a perfect "effective spread" score but contribute nothing to the displayed NBBO. That's essentially what IEX is. Their midpoint order type only has value because of the displayed liquidity at the other rebate-paying exchanges.
Define "until recently"... internal culture has definitely been an issue at companies for 20-30 years now - I can remember discussions about it quite commonly in the mid-90s. It's just good business; would you rather pay unhappy people a lot more to keep coming to work, or pay them less but have them be happier and more productive? Back in the factory days this wasn't an issue - you didn't much care if an employee came back the next day, as long as you could find someone to fill the spot on the line. But in modern companies, there's a huge cost to turnover.
Any plans for plugins for slack/other communication platforms outside of just email?
Author here. The experiments actually ran BorgBackup 1.1.0b6 as you can see from the Setup section. We liked to call it Attic out of the respect to the original Attic author.
I agree with you, and my views are also mixed - maybe this isn't the best example where the current solutions aren't that great.

But where do you draw the line? It's fine when all the available solutions aren't that great?
The reason being the format change will be jarring to someone who is not used to seeing the expanded mode.

But you bring up a good point. I'm not mired by maintaining legacy, so I could take this as an opportunity to educate users about the \x auto by enabling it as default.
>Over the next two days, her legs throbbed with excruciating pain, her urine turned a dark shade of brown, and she felt nauseated. Eventually she went to a hospital...

Eh... if your urine starts turning funny colors you should probably head off to the hospital right then and not "eventually".
Well, unfortunately it just didn't catch on. In many ways it made much more sense than the calendar system we still use today.

It also has the added benefit of celebrating an event most modern people probably can relate to and are in favour of (the bloody struggle and oppressive regime that came afterwards admittedly not so much though ...) instead of the arbitrarily fixed year of birth of a religious figure many people are more or less indifferent about.

Yes, totally agree.

In my opinion, Java is a great language that has was ruined by enterprise adoption. SOAP, JavaBeans etc, set this precedent of crazy over-engineered solutions in Java and it has never really recovered.

Go seems to attract C and Python programmers that prefer simpler interfaces and doing more with less. It is just a different culture, though I would agree from a language perspective they are very similar.

Which is great, choices are good and you can pick the culture you prefer, but you can only say the languages are similar if you ignore this huge chasm in their cultures.
The pig had died at some unknown time before. It was summertime. The residual heat of the internal organs would have quickly spoiled the meat; this is why hunters, even in the winter deer season, try to get the guts out and the skin off as soon as possible, in order to let the heat out before it ruins the meat. Also, the pig died for a reason. Could have been a twisted intestine, or it could have been some sort of disease, but in any case the vet couldn't figure out what was making the pig sick which means they don't know if it's communicable.

I grew up on a farm. One winter day, years back, my sister's sheep just started dying. 3 or 4 of them died over the course of an afternoon, for no reason we could discover, and then the rest of the sheep were fine. We didn't eat the sheep, even the ones we had literally watched expire; it's just not safe.
That makes you like me. You aren't buying and selling based on proprietary information about where you think the market is going, but because of your cash flow situation (You save $1000 a month now, and hope to withdraw $5000 a month in retirement or whatever).

I agree overall, but I would say that in terms of your work killing your body, software dev is clearly much less destructive than, say, working in construction. But likely anything you do nonstop for hours on end is going to exact a toll. I am interested in what you think the purpose of the our system is - social control? Simple snatch-and-grab by the 1% ?

I've never really taken classes at a gym, but I can see how people wanting to plunge back into fitness could easily go way about their fitness level way too fast.

It's like mountain biking. I remember my first time on a trail I barely made it 1km before I was off the side of the trail feeling totally beyond my level. Over the course of about two months though, I slowly built up my endurance (street cycling casually during the week) until I could do 8km ~ 10km loops without really noticing how far I've gone.

As with any workout, you need to build slowly and give your muscles time to heal.
These need to be discussed together. Otherwise, the defence of HFT tends to cite the economic damage caused by measures to reduce it.

Anyway, I agree with you. I don’t see a significant downside to using a small transaction tax or one of the other suggestions. The real hard question is about the benefit or harm of HFT itself.

I haven’t heard a decisive argument yet, but I would say that the “liquidity defence” of HFT is in unconvincing to me. I don’t see how liquidity can add value past a certain point.
The OP can upgrade from iOS whenever the appropriately Free/Libre mobile operating system is viable.

iOS, despite being a very closed ecosystem, is much more privacy-conscious. In addition to being much more resistant to law enforcement and criminal adversaries, it submits far less information about the user to Apple by default.

To be fair to the Android team, almost all of the user tracking and advertisement targeting can be disabled in the system and account preferences. Sure, Google could disregard the user preferences, but that might open up liability for fraud.
Because the "difficulty" rate (essentially the number of leading 0's needed for the proof of work) can change dynamically, the longest chain is not always the chain with the most work.
Beautiful code should be readable and single character variable name salads are not readable.

I agree that the other issues are stylistic and are less important.

As options, integrations, and bots in Slack get more and more customizable, in many cases it will end up being the responsibility of individual organizations to provide some sort of training for their users. SOPs and conventions will be unique to each organization.

It kinda gets to be a situation like we have with some of the huge CRM and asset management systems, where the official documentation and training is really more focused on setup and administration, and the specific implementation is really up to the org.

Sanders lacks fundamental understanding of the stock market, indicated by his unsubstantiated refrain "the business model of Wall Street is fraud." First, there are already per-trade regulatory fees, so this isn't a novel idea. Second, this is necessarily a regressive tax: wider spreads mean worse prices for the ultimate owner of stocks; that tax is applied whether trades are retail (you and me), institutional (big Wall Street firms, i.e. IEX's clients), or HFT (small tech firms).
