My friends who works at Amazon a while back this is 2009 and between that and now they've been saying don't work for Amazon. I kept in touch with the freshmen and such since I was president of ACM.

It also affect my spending habit on Amazon too.

Jeff Bezos have been quoted Kindness is a choice but the things I've read especially the warehouse condition is right. Kindness is a choice and it seems like Amazon chose to not to be kind.

I'm glad they're trying to fix their culture but sheesh. The article mentioned about competitiveness. He makes it out as if it is some cut throat thing. If I have a family do I need more undue stress from competition while worry about my kids and family needs? I mean do I need to suck up and watch my back from co workers on top of everything? That's a terrible place to work for.

Even if it's not necessary so that I have cut throat coworkers, I still have to compete against them while doing my job. That's insane. At least with Government some branches such as FDA you get raises base on the papers you publishes IIRC, you don't need to hurt people or compete against your peers.
I could be wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or put another way : evolution and natural selection aren't about living a long time, they're about reproducing.
The FAA registration was actually struck down (as of May 2017) for violating the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. The FAA is explicitly barred from regulating hobby model aircraft.

Interestingly, the FAA still promulgates the notion that you have to pay them $5 for the privilege of flying.
For me, productivity is 90% about existing in a time and place without blockers. You can have all the right ideas (and even the least productive people I know are full of great ideas) but a single blocker can take your productivity from 100 to 0 indefinitely.

* For programming, this can be knowing a language very well, having smart coworkers who can help with issues, and a plan of how your software will look in the end.

* For getting in shape it can be living near your gym and going to bed at 10:30 instead of 11.

* For writing it can be about turning off message notifications and keeping an outline to prevent writer's block (honestly I'm still working on this one).

I can go on, but this realization has been tremendously useful to me, and lets me exist in "10x productivity mode" many times longer than in the past. While I don't agree with his politics, I strongly believe Scott Adams' ideas around systems vs goals is the right way of thinking of life. You shouldn't expend energy achieving specific goals, you should set your life up so it takes minimal effort to be productive and live a good life. http://blog.dilbert.com/post/102964992706/goals-vs-systems
"Islamic extremism" is a nebulous category that can be ascribed to ANY socio-political unrest of peoples who happen to live in a predominantly muslim area.

What do they call extremism in other areas with deep socioeconomic problems? Non-islamic extremism?

No, he chose to identify himself. The government had no idea.

Income tax about what it is in CA? I'll take your word for it. What about all the other taxes? Car tax, VAT, etc?

From what I've seen purchasing power is much lower in Norway. $50K would go much further in US, Canada, UK than Norway.
It's kind of hard to explain how magical working with TRAMP can feel sometimes. If you are conditioned use emacs for everything, like git or project management or file management , these things will work on a remote server as if it were local (with the only caveat being delays as it transfers data).

Depending on your setup, you could reasonably dev applications running on a Digital Ocean droplet as easily as if you were editing locally.
"Noise regulation" is just a euphemism for "ban drones" since drones are always noisy.
Cladding would degrade. But a large diameter glass rod would be fine. There are a lot of options, including a scanning the light source combined with a non imaging sensor.

Or you could put a scintillating detector in a lead ball with a hole, and scan by rotation and pipe the light from the scintillator out to external electronics. All you need is a long pipe installed to get started.
A lot of people in in the comments seems to assume you'll get married. Which, while I wish you luck, may not be the case.

With that said, while I can't speak from experience, if you are equal founders I say go for it. If one of you is in a position of authority over the other it becomes much more tricky.

The only down side I can see is if you two break up and it gets messy. In which case, having a good board of directors that can be neutral and think about what is best for the company is important.

Edit: a little bit from personal experience though. If your startup hits a rough place and you need to sacrifice things like pay, it can be helpful when your significant other has a stable job. And if you both work for the same startup that is not an option. Money is what breaks up most relationships and if there is one thing startups are good at, it is creating money problems.

Not every attempt at "resisting" the force of law results in being shot.

You're stretching the concept of the monopoly on violence and the "men with guns" metaphor to absurdity, when the "violence" in that context involves all compulsory interactions with the state, including mere arrest and detainment, or even having to buy postage stamps to send a letter.
My opinion is that income solidarity should be achieved through the tax system. This way it can be fine-tuned to the wishes and needs of the society and everything is "clean". Additional sources of "hidden" solidarity like my example with Alice are in my opinion unnecessary and counterproductive. Companies should be left to pay people exactly how much they value them to ensure maximum efficiency, then taxes can reduce these differences to the extent the society desires.

Politics aside, even in a system where every company must have public salaries to avoid disadvantaging those who do, the system would still be inefficient. A company that hires only "Alice-level" developers can pay Alice 100 as they pay everyone roughly that amount. They don't suffer from this effect. A company that hires Bobs finds it hard to hire and keep some Alices (exactly what happened at my first job, I wasn't the first nor the last young guy in that position to quit quickly when I realized what the deal was) as long as it mostly hires Bobs. And Bobs also need to work somewhere. This basically gives companies a strong economic incentive to stick to a similar level of talent when hiring, which is a market inefficiency, and to developers of similar skill level to accumulate in the same companies. So with time, Alice ends up working at a company with other Alices and they are being paid 100, while Bob is working with Fob and Gob and being paid 50.

This is actually an aspect of another, more general problem with salary solidarity: if you overpay your lower-value employees, and underpay your high-value employees, this gives the lower-value employees the incentive to take the job and stay forever, and the higher-value employees the incentive to not even accept the job or eventually leave for a job that doesn't underpay them. Over time, you're accumulating lower-value overpaid employees. Government jobs are an extreme example of this problem (in my country at least) as there is a high level of salary solidarity there. Paying people what they're worth in gross salary, and then achieving solidarity through taxes at least solves this problem within 1 country. It still doesn't solve it internationally (as the highly productive people still have the option to jump ship to countries with less solidarity, but this is not as bad as people are not as quick to emigrate as they are to switch jobs).
Still a classic post. Glad it got posted again. Very insightful!

I think forced, public smartphone surveillance is absolutely worse than secret surveillance, in two ways. First, it has a strong chilling effect on free speech and free thought. In a country where the rule of law is not well-established, you can never be sure what the local officials consider "bad" speech. As a result, you keep your mouth shut more often, just in case. This takes a psychological toll on everyone surveilled, not just criminals.

Second, dedicated criminals will now actively avoid the compromised smartphones and seek alternate means of communication. As others have noted, the current surveillance malware seems easy to circumvent. This is why spy agencies don't generally advertise their sources and methods.
It really varies by manager and org. I had one manager who would pull stuff like that. The other managers that I've had have been very flexible.

>What happened to the concern for all the refugees from Syria now, everyone is fighting to keep them away

It was the media. I'm sure if people had voted to say whether they wanted the refugees in Europe or not, the "no" would've won.

And as soon as refugees stopped giving them ratings, the media stopped talking about them, and that was it.
Automating people's jobs away without meaningful replacements is how regions get decimated, and you end up with very large swaths of very angry people without much to lose.

I think Microsoft know what they are doing with the fluffy keyboard surround. In the retail channel where demo machines are available to touch, decisions are very much on look and feel.

The lack of USB C makes me wonder if Microsoft are stupid. However, had they just put two USB C ports and little else then people would be complaining. Still not sure who this laptop is for. It also doesn't represent some undreamed of future either.
> using a pen on the Laptop is inconvenient at best, downright idiotic at worst. You have to grab the lid to try to steady it and stop the whole thing wobbling and moving.

I wonder how many of you are using touch screens on a laptop, especially when your main job is programming?
I used to be an architect before I became a programmer, so since I started programming I noticed I hag a big advantage over my peers when it comes to the high level designing and structuring a program.

Thing is, the more experienced I become at programming, the less of that I end up doing. I more and more tend to break everything down into tiny parts that can all work independently and be composed into bigger bits. Most of my career I've used OO languages, especially C#, but nowadays I usually avoid using a lot of the features of OO, like inheritance, and just try and make everything from tiny little methods (functions) big things are just made from several of those methods in sequence and really big things are just made from several of the big ones.

From a development perspective it means I can just go ahead and start writing useful little snippets of code and start composing them together into bigger and bigger features as I go. So, I'm switching from a top-down style to more of a bottom-up one.

The Ethereum project includes sharding as part of their scaling plan. Here's a fairly detailed overview of the problems involved, and how they're attempting to address them:

Calling VM's a mistake is surprising considering that today, a crushing majority of code (JVM, .net and arguably, LLVM) runs on a VM.

In comparison, .net native and Core RT are tiny dots on the radar.

Besides,

- Pascal UCSD Pascal was a VM (p-code)

- A few anti-piracy schemes on the Apple ][ used their own VM to obfuscate their code

- ScummVM was extremely popular to create games

VM's were a thing in the 90s and they are even more of a thing today.

Do you pay on par with Google, etc? Do potential employees sees salaries before negotiations?
Productivity isn't about writing lots of code.

For example: if you spend 48 hours writing 10,000 lines of code, and then I produce same functionality in a normal 16 hours of work, with just 1,000 lines of code. Who is more productive?

So instead of focusing on writing lots of code, focus on solving problems. The less code it takes to solve a problem, the better off you are, because that's less code to maintain.

This attitude (explained in more detail here: https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/08/25/the-01x-programmer/) then leads inevitably to the idea that working long hours isn't actually useful, nor is working at 2AM a good idea. The best way to be productive is to think, and that is easier when you are well rested, and works better if you take breaks and go do something else (https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/11/10/work-life-balance-so...).

I have to say, a rating in the 70% rating range for Microsoft Hardware is actually quite good. Keep working on it! The price is ludacris, but that's also expected. Honestly with all the recent improvements through new leadership I wouldn't be surprised if they learn out of a few feedback rounds and make affordable good quality laptops.

What I'm really surprised though was the guy they put in front of the camera here. I'm also an ugly guy, but I think one should be self aware enough to put someone else in front of the camera if that's the case. And wearing such a t-shirt... wow.
I think basic welfare and good free healthcare are basic human rights. But tax-wise, Norway is about as bad as it gets. And I am obviously aware those services need to be paid for, but a lot of it has to do with policy as well.

It's probably a decent tradeoff for the average Norwegian, but not for anyone who wishes to (eventually) live off of investment and/or (semi) passive income.

A lot of these taxes don't serve any purpose (and generate very little revenue) and merely exist to stop or limit certain behaviors. Why are luxury cars taxed a lot? They don't want people to drive a Porsche or an Aston Martin, because some people would feel bad they can't afford those cars. Why is alcohol taxed excessively? They don't want people to drink (too much). Why is there a wealth tax? They don't want people to focus on getting rich. Etc

One simple example is a wealth tax: hard to verify whether people are reporting their true net worth, hard to enforce (takes a lot of manpower to check everything), and it brings in very little. In France, the wealth tax barely covers the cost of enforcing it. That's a policy decision, i.e. we want wealthy people to pay X% of extra tax. But it's not a sane decision.

I personally doubt this will help solve the problem. Reminding a restive population that you dominate and scrutinize every aspect of their lives, even those of people who follow the rules, is a great way to build more resentment against a state. It also instructs the real terrorists to avoid the publicly-compromised communication channels.

I never trust claims that any given survey is anonymous. To me that's a lie to gently coerce employees to tell the truth.

Not that I give a crap anyway, I still tell the truth knowing full well it might be used against me. If they can't handle honesty, they need to surpass 16-year old mental age. And I can find another job before my notice period expires.

"Extreme individualism is always defeated by those who know how to share and work as a team."

Holy shit, that's it! That's why the individual always loses out in negotiating for their salary--the company is already one big team (HR, accounting, all the business processes, etc) and you're just some guy on the other side of the table.

Even for hot shots, a union would only be a benefit. Look at the Screen Actors Guild--hot shot actors bring in bank, they're not constrained by the union, but everyone involved gets the basic union protections.

Wow, that's it. Individuals always get defeated by the team, and that's exactly what it is when you go up against a company to negotiate your salary.

> Programs like the Human Brain Project, designed to simulate an entire human neuronal network

I'm not sure but it is my understanding the HBP plans on studying the human brain from a static measurements of adult specimens. That seems at odd with the cosmological models used here, which are dynamical, building a structure from an initial conditions.

Is there an accurate model for the dynamics of brain during the development of the embryo? If not couldn't we start from the cosmological model and tweak it until it produces a structure that matches the brain even better?
They're using Scheme. Wow that takes me back. But I have to say, it certainly forces you to focus on two things:

1. Form and flow
2. Functional paradigms

I retain these lessons even today, no matter what language or paradigm I use. Reading this paper, I realized that when I mentor, I do the same thing they did. Teaching function is giving a man a fish; teaching form is teaching him to fish. If the student or mentee can think around the problem, they can find any solution, vs the one they were instructed to find.
It sounds like the code which should be maintained separately, is being maintained in the same repo. This type of issue would be easier to catch with different policies in different repos.
