I'm in a high COL area with high engineering salaries and a few years back I got an offer from a company in Chicago offering about 20% more than I was making at the time (which was a healthy wage in my area).

Their interview process was thorough and a bit stressful but I'd rate it excellent as far as screening goes. I ended up not accepting the offer, but it was a great experience and I actually felt a bit sad at having to turn it down.

The company knew what they were looking for in a senior engineer and weren't looking to lowball anyone. I assume that many companies are in a position where their local talent pool is shallow or the market where they're at is so high that even hiring someone remote from another premium market can save them money, even if it's still a very fair wage.

Kerala in India, 33 million people.

In any case, I think you're confusing correlation with causation. Violent revolutions usually result in authoritarian states whether they be far left, far right or anywhere in between. Nearly all communist governments have come about from violent revolutions.
I don't think it's about intelligence. I really don't see how the poster can possibly not know all of this. So if that's true, why post a comment like that? I don't think it's anything to do with a lack of smarts, in fact quite the opposite. People who post stuff like that know very well what they are doing.
I don't think I had much of an imposter syndrome at the time.

This is more or less the feasibility test for lifetimes/regions as a general purpose programming feature. It will probably be many years from now that another language tries to do anything like this with the same pervasiveness and breadth.
I thought that with Coinbase you really didn't "own" the coins. As in, if you bought a bitcoin via Coinbase you really didn't hold a bitcoin, you really just held a promise that Coinbase would give you a bitcoin at a later date. If that were the case, would they actually be liable for giving you anything related to bitcoin forks?

It's also not like they didn't give warning ahead of time either. If you really wanted to use BCC/BCH (whatever gets decided on) you could've just moved the funds out of Coinbase into an offline wallet and sent them back post fork.

Kubernetes was not designed with the intention that it would be a Mesos framework. But I think it's very cool that people figured out how to make it work as one!

From pre-1.0, Kubernetes did resource allocation for CPU and memory via its cluster-level scheduler, enforced on the node using the standard container isolation mechanisms provided by Docker.

So far I'm only aware of one previous discovery--https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-49/srfi-49.html--, which nsajko pointed me to a couple weeks ago, (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14606595). Are you aware of other identical or near identical implementations? The tiniest details matter here. I'd be very interested in more.

> but somehow this dream language never approaches even Lisp in popularity.

Agreed! That's what I'm hoping to help change. It's going to be a long slog, but I'm very confident the math works out and it's going to happen. The tooling needs to be built to take advantage of the properties of these languages before they will catch on. But once that happens, I think we're in for a whole new world in programming.
us-east-1 is the region that has most issues. Every time you hear about an AWS outage it's typically just us-east-1, and it brings down half the internet. It's really puzzling why everyone keeps hosting their projects in us-east-1.

The advantage of that region is that it tends to get new instance types and services first. And if you need to be on the bleeding edge, then you have to agree to deal with some risks. But for everyone else that doesn't need the bleeding edge, why not just run your instances in us-west-2 or us-east-2 for example? I've run services in us-west-2 for years and I've never had to deal with fallout from an AWS outage.

Tim is one of the people in the Kubernetes community that makes it an enjoyable place to work.

Building an open source community is hard and building an open source community for a platform that has a ton of orthogonal interests is even harder. But, Tim, along with many of the other leaders, do a solid job of ensuring that the project does its best to listen to all of the various users and stakeholders and then ultimately takes an opinion and heads in a direction that tries to navigate immediate needs without egregious long-term compromise. It is hard work and no one can expect a 100% success rate, but Tim has done a great job and has been pretty close.

In any case, thanks for your dedication to the project Tim.

I understand this. In a place with a lot of Muslims he will not get much love by trying to undo damage done by Muslim extremist.

In the time of slavery, not everyone hated salves, nobody cared enough if one of them was falsely accused and executed. And this happens a lot, in Muslim countries, mob will decide to stone women, one cop will decide to throw a gay man from the roof, and nobody care enough to lift a finger about it. Not much people will care about a guy who tried to preserve Syrian culture
They are just exploring the solution space, with minimal baggage to hold them back. The real problem, is that people are trying to make a living off of something that is still experimental / alpha level maturity.

There is no threshold, it's clearly a gradient. Some exchanges want to list it, others don't. Certain exchanges listing it gives it more value than others, and if it's impossible to trade/spend, then the coin has 0 value.

Negotiation starts from a base point though. It is exceptionally difficult to right a lifetime of wrong. By that I mean, women with work experience have lower salaries from the get go and when negotiating for pay at a new employer she starts with a lower pay history than males. Most employers will not jump a salary from say $78,000 to $100,000 AND most women are fearful of pricing themselves out by asking for such a jump. For those who will ask will rarely get the salary they deserve but may make up a little ground is they have been underpaid for an extended period of time.

That's still a much simpler debate, at least morally. As far as pay is concerned merit is how much money you are paid in a competitive, free market.

I think it's best to focus on two types of merit. There is potential merit ( how much you could be making ) and capturing merit ( how good you are at capturing your potential merit ).

let's take an example. If there are two hotdogs sellers on the street and they sell the exact same hot dogs at the exact same location but one charges two dollars and the other charges four dollars - and the guy who charges more ends up making more money. does the guy who gets paid more have more merit ? yes. they have the same amount of potential merit but the guy who knows the correct price to charge has more capturing merit.

HyperLoop One Tests Pod for the First Time
Nope. I see a lot of support for women and minorities in tech-- both in the form of mentoring events, hiring initiatives, networking events, and general cheerleading. I've talked to a lot of women and minorities in casual friendly drinking contexts, and I haven't heard any horror stories. You're right that I should specifically ask them if they've been on the receiving end of bias, and I'm going to.

Maybe I'm just in test-writing mode, but, if there's a bug, we ought to be able to write a test for it. If there is bias in tech, we ought to be able to see it in data. Maybe we need to look at 1st-job hiring rates? Maybe we need to look at people who drop out of tech after their first year and don't return? But I haven't seen it. I'm not asking you to do this data analysis, I just figured that... there are a lot of people examining this, and it should have been uncovered by now.

Hi! I'm an experienced dev looking for full-time (40-50 hours/week) contract work. I'm happy working remote.

I'm based in the Mid-Atlantic so periodic trips to anywhere between NYC and DC are A-OK.
I have ~20 years of experience with software development. My most recent FTE position was 50% coding and 50% management. If you want someone to come in and hack on code, I can do that. If you dev team and process is a mess, I can help out there too.

I have experience with lots of things: Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Systems programming in Go. Java experience was some time ago but i can pick it back up. I'm pretty handy with Python and DS/ML but by no means an expert. The ony thing I don't have experience with is front-end tech (js-based frameworks like React, Meteor, etc...) I could pick it up I'm sure but there are probably more experienced people out there who would be more effective.

When I sleep I slump over almost into a fetal position. It's never comfortable for me to sleep in a car. My Mrs on the other hand appears to be awake and sitting up, the only subtle clue is a slight bobbing of the head if her sunglasses are on. I wonder how engagement detection would work in her case? There have been many times I have been having a grand old chat with her as I am driving and in my periphery and she is sound asleep. I predict that she could easily fool the system unto thinking she is awake.

I think you answered your own question. In the case of AWS, sometimes being "bleeding edge" means you're allowing amazon to scaffold infrastructure with a new service that you'd otherwise have to deal with yourself. For a small company, an AWS service being bleeding edge is still a lot more resilient than doing it yourself.

Would you like people to hold an off-the-cuff comment made at the age of 20 against you for the rest of your days?

I've many issues with FB, Zuckerberg and the rest of the cohort, but a comment made 13 years ago isn't one of them.
Interesting that it uses defun, like Common Lisp, the main Lisp-2 dialect, and yet it's clearly a Lisp-1, like Scheme. After (defun f (n) (+ n 1)), evaluating f shows that it's a function (just as in Python, which is a Lisp-1). My first thought, for what it's worth, is that if the namespace semantics is like Scheme it'd be better to follow Scheme idioms rather than Common Lisp, so code can be easily ported. On the other hand, this is only my first minute using Hy so what do I know. Looks really neat!

No they will not trip over themselves to only hire women to increase their profits. Remember, women take maternity leave; they must stay home when the kids are sick; etc. If they had a workforce of women then men I have worked with in the past would talk about the lack of stability in that workforce because of the extended leave time that women take that men do not typically require and or utilize.

Further women choose teachers, based on a number of studies, because they want to be home in the summer with their children and because they want to nurture. The one thing that most school systems do that is go is they have a pay matrix that determines pay on a step system where education and years of experience determine your pay scale and gender is not a factor. The downside to this pay system is that high performers make the same as sub par performers.

> If on the other hand you short a stock, and a third party says "Hey, I'm going to give everyone who owns this stock on this date a bag of cash!" I don't think that shorts would be obligated to cover that.

With stocks, the question of what the borrower is expected to cover will be addressed in the loan agreement. For example, here is a relevant paragraph from the 2010 Global Master Securities Lending Agreement:

Where the term of a Loan extends over an Income Record Date in respect of any Loaned Securities, Borrower shall, on the date such Income is paid by the issuer, or on such other date as the Parties may from time to time agree, pay or deliver to Lender such sum of money or property as is agreed between the Parties or, failing such agreement, a sum of money or property equivalent to (and in the same currency as) the type and amount of such Income that would be received by Lender in respect of such Loaned Securities assuming such Securities were not loaned to Borrower and were retained by Lender on the Income Record Date.

Here are some relevant definitions of terms used in the paragraph above:

Income Record Date, with respect to any Securities or Collateral, means the date by reference to which holders of such Securities or Collateral are identified as being entitled to payment of Income;

Income means any interest, dividends or other distributions of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Securities or Collateral;

That's not true, I performed calculations beforehand to decide whether it was more profitable to hold BTC in the margin wallet as opposed to other assets (which I knew would rise after the fork). The core question is whether altcoins would rise more than the price ratio of BCH/BTC. Alts went up 20% while BCH/BTC is ~0.15, meaning you were better off skipping the BCH altogether and just holding alts. The tradeoff is the increased risk.
