> In San Fransisco, a coding bootcamp grad can get 140K out the door

I really hope that's not true
I'm speaking from my own experience, so perhaps biased. I felt my access to a minicomputer put me way ahead of my peers. And many did have parents that paid for a computer, but not for the tape drive, or floppy.
I'd consider using gigalixir in the future if I have a need to host/run a personal+stateful app. Looks neat. Will have to check it out sometime. Bookmarked.

Huh? Zurich has lots of jobs, and they pay very well.
I think we too easily conflate Electron and apps based on Electron. If you take the Electron demo app, you won't notice it. It has no impact on your machine whatsoever. Plenty of Electron based apps though have abysmal performance and a negative impact on battery life etc. I've also come across a few that behave like proper citizens. A lot of what makes people frustrated with Electron based apps isn't actually caused by Electron, but what people have layered on top of it.

I think it was with Slack recently that someone noticed they actually ship the dev build of their JS code. Which would explain a thing or two about its performance and resource usage.
The price certainly supports that point of view. I saw the name "Essential Phone" and was expecting something basic, low-cost, and simple. Instead it's priced at the top end of the market (about 3x what I would ever dream of spending on a phone).
I like this. Being in large companies for a long time, SAS has been a staple, but I'm looking to get folks to do more in Python or R since I think the external talent pool is going there. Articles like this help illustrate that the transition isn't particularly horrible.
We do code reviews, but I wouldn't use an automated tool for them. We treat code review as an opportunity for communication, learning, institutional knowledge transfer, and architecture review -- not as a way to enforce code style or catch memory leaks. That's what linters are for.
Yeah, I can't bring myself to "upgrade" to a RPi3 since I know my threshold for a desktop I might regularly use is 2gb in 32bit. Upgrading to a RPi2 was a pretty marginal benefit while I'm just playing with GPIO via ssh.

Some of the clones look better but the community is too biased toward the RPi brand.
Do you understand it?
Some sort of holocracy?

You don't get 140k out of the door.
Out of context? You're accusing someone of shaming a group of people an then proceed to shame him for being a 16 yr old communist. That's just blatant hypocrisy.
If by huge you mean that in its current state it will be a nice novelty experience for some interested and tech savvy people, then I agree completely. On one hand cardboard VR is a huge success with likely millions of people who have tried it or heard about it. On the other hand it hasn't registered in most people's lives as more than a novelty, compared to the habit forming technology and life changing experience of mobile phones.

At the same time I have to acknowledge that ARKit is just the initial developer interface to future hardware products in the Apple ecosystem. When they announce Apple AR sunglasses with the same portability and form factor as your Ray Bans, then we can start talking about huge.
No Hyperloop required, just off-the-shelf, standard rail technology that has been available for the past 30-40 years.
Yes there have been some bad errors by the medical and public health communities. But on the other hand, now we have parents who don't vaccinate because they "feel" it's better for their child. Most peoples' feelings aren't to be trusted.
When choosing between jobs I try to calculate the true hourly wage I'd receive. I include transportation costs, travel time, expected unpaid overtime etc and pick not the highest salary but the highest hourly rate all things considered.
Well, for one thing, Beijing is miles and miles of 20+story apartment highrises. I don't know why San Francisco is so resistant to that, seems inevitable to me.
For the first one, even before Net Neutrality, we didn't have to pay extra to watch Netflix or Youtube.

And for the second. Imagine that your neighbors are ordering stuff from Amazon. Amazon is making lots of money delivering to the homes. However, they are overloading our neighborhood roads with their vehicles. Our neighborhood roads have become congested because of Amazon. Now Amazon is saying that this congestion is solely our problem. However, since they are the ones making money from our roads, we want them to pay their fair share for profiting from our roads. We are only doing this for big corporations like Amazon who are not paying their fair share and causing us congestion. We have never tried to make mom and pop stores pay this fee.
There are people who are attracted to the idea of living in a smaller community in a completely alien environment.

Stated like this, I have more empathy for such a community of Mars settlers if viewed as a lark and a kind of "oddball" enterprise, rather than what Mars colonists seem to be portrayed as now which is "SAVIORS OF HUMANITY."

The idea of having a human colony on Mars is absurd to me, and the idea that we should spend 100s of Billions on it is frustrating. However it would be interesting to see what a rag-tag group of one way explorers could do for a few $100M.
Ask HN: How Often Does Amazon Kill Projects or Products?
We often hear about Amazon's "two pizza team" strategy for starting new things, and we know they've had a couple of high profile flameouts, but, does anyone know how many internal product ideas or projects on these two pizza teams make it vs get canceled? Given how innovative Amazon seems, I'm just curious if their hit rate is better than average.
I travel 1 hour one way and find it brutal. Can't begin to imagine what this person must be going through.

Time flies I guess.

To your comment on Infineon... I thought the TriCore was stupid, but my German boss at the time insisted. We're using one of their SoCs today, but it's actually very very good for what we're doing and it's fairly cheap. We could get cheaper but that would require the addition of other parts on the board. If we can secure the volumes we may go custom - and that's something I haven't seen in person in automotive (I'm beginning to hear about it though).
Just think about the time gap between the invention of the wheel and until the 1970's when someone finally thought of attaching them to a suitcase!
The odds are that in WWIII it will be lost and then will be able to be rebuilt like a actual modern city with proper infrastructure. All those amazing buildings that we see in the Star Trek movies and shows probably weren't built while Nimby's were still there. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/21st_century
Hyperloops are a promising whizz-bang idea, but it's not like we haven't developed technology for mass transit. Subways, light rail, and dedicated bus ways all work rather well. The California high-speed rail is obscenely expensive mostly for political reasons, not logistical ones.

Furthermore, a Hyperloop might get you from city to city, but then local transit is needed for those last couple miles.
"Rosetta Stone" implies that there is a universal stratagem for processing any dataset in any language.

One of my pet peeves with everyone using the Titanic dataset as a Hello World for data science is that real-world datasets are not as clean or intuitive. ETL and variable selection is half the battle, if not more.
But you make a lot less in the absolute terms. So you save less, you can afford less of cool stuff. Most people in the world want to move in the opposite direction.
Well, the manufacturing order is probably for a few tens of thousands, and if sales don't go as they hoped, they could cut the price. As far as Android phones go it's not a bad phone. But pricing it at the iPhone levels was a mistake.
But it would make too much sense to criticize the artificial monopolies created by the state instead of complaining about ISPs!
Noted down, thanks for that.
Will be handy for future whiteboard interview questions.
Termux on ChromeOS is a terrible experience though. Basic things like ^W to delete a word will cause the Termux window to disappear. Copying is HORRIBLE, requiring you to treat your very precise pointing instrument like a tiny finger -- you have to move the mouse somewhere, hold down the button for a few seconds, move both ends of the selection, then click "Copy". Ctrl-<number> does things in ChromeOS rather than going to the terminal, so no quick switching of application windows. You can't run two instances of Termux on Chrome OS, which is a major bummer if you have multiple monitors.

Really, most Android apps are a terrible desktop experience. They handle the mouse poorly, they handle multiple monitors poorly, few of them at this point can deal with being resized to arbitrary sized (i.e., you get only phone-aspect-ratio sized or full screen), they handle co-existing with other running processes poorly (i.e., if you change the focus from one window to another on a different monitor on an application playing a video the video pauses).

It's ironic that you guys create the mess you put yourself in. Let the business fail. Book your vacation. Stop risking your health. I guess it's easy to say for me, but I don't get it.. you won't make 93% of the profits of the business, you will only make $140,000.
I think the key thing is your team needs to consist of driven, collaborative people. Otherwise, you need managers to either provide direction or to resolve conflicts. If everyone gets on and knows what they're doing in the team's context, then managers don't have much of a role to play!
Do you know how you have to pay extra to your ISP to watch Netflix or Youtube? You don't because of Net Neutrality.

That's a good scare tactic, but isn't very informative (or necessarily true). Net Neutrality only came into effect on June 12, 2015. I don't think people will recall paying extra to watch Netflix or YouTube before that date (because they weren't). And paying extra probably won't be the effect if net neutrality is rolled back, so it will undermine the argument to reinstate it.

The problem is that we need net neutrality to help balance the power against big vertically integrated Media/ISPs like Comcast and Time Warner. But it is more about the future potential abuse, so people won't care until there is some event that really affects a lot of people.
> Have you ever been backpacking in a desert, mountains, wilderness?

To be outdoors in the vast wilderness teaming with life, breathing fresh air, being able to wander off in any direction you feel like does have a certain amount of appeal. If you went to Mars, though, you would never be able to do this again in your life. You'd never be able to breath fresh air again. You'd never be able to stand outside on your own again - you'd only be able to do it from the inside of a constricting suit. You'd never be able to just go off and wander when you feel like - even if you could use rovers and suits for fun, you'd have to get the approval of your fellow travelers before going out. You'd never be able to see wild plants and animals again.
A recent article about building in Millbrae mentions developer fees of 26k per unit being build. I'm all for deregulation to make it easier to build, but the code compliance and fees are also part of the problem.

http://www.smdailyjournal.com/news/local/millbrae-bart-stati...

From the National Association of Home Builders, it looks like "average" is approximately $9,400 per unit in "fees". Not sure if that's apple to apples with the Bay Area, but in either way that fee just seems kind of crazy.

Gonna get _so_ hacked. Eventually this is gonna happen but it's gonna be a mostly cloud service, perhaps with an integrated proprietary non-customizable auto-updating chromecast/appleTV like box for media locally. And Google or Apple will sell it to you. I mean, this is what they're already trying to do, but it's not all as integrated as it oughta be.
And sit in traffic for an hour instead of relax on a train for 2? Ew.

What this lady needs is a sweet GSXR-1000 to split all the way to paradise. I don't know why more people don't take advantage of the fact that lane splitting is legal here, it's a fantastic way to cut commute time in half. Plus you get free or super cheap parking pretty much wherever you want.
I think the TCP/IP analogy is fuzzy at best. As for why these projects need their own currencies, it's not really that weird, it's just another way of thinking about it all.
They're called Local Currencies and are pretty common. They definitely help to create strongly knit communities in particular when the communities revolve around certain ideals or requirement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_currency
My problem is that I never seem to have an available microSD to go with my unused rPis.
But, Atom hangs up like crazy when opening big projects or big files, that doesn't happen on Sublime for example.
If there was choice, but running cables and utility poles leads to a natural monopoly. Nobody has pockets deeper than Google, and even they failed to break into it.
Think of it like your cable company, Mime Warmer, also happens to own a broadcasting company called DEF. You pay Mime Warmer $100/month to access every cable channel that exists. The DEF channels come in 4K. Now, because there's no cable company regulation, non-DEF channels only go up to 480p unless you pay an extra $10/month per channel you want in $4k.

The problem with this analogy is that cable already comes in packages. The key here is that you already pay for the access to all channels. But all of the sudden they see a new revenue stream in restricting access to promote their own properties.

So, it's not the internet that is being regulated: It's ISPs (Net Neutrality is the wrong word to use). You already pay for internet access, so does Netflix. Why all of the sudden would you want to let ISPs charge more for what you are already paying for?

And opponents (Time Warner, Comcast, Verizon, et al.) all say they totally support NN, but oh, they don't want to be forced to obide by it for "reasons". And there are already examples of ISPs (Verizon, namely) throttling others or exempting their traffic (from data charges). Lawmaker opponents keep claiming it's "regulating the internet", but it's not -- it's regulating ISPs since they have mono/duo-polies.
Only the cheaper ones use concrete I believe. High-end models use cast iron, because concrete will start to crack/crumble after 10 years
Hyperloop routing will be deeply political, same as any other transit system.

The stations have to go somewhere, the tunnels have to go somewhere, etc.
Is that really good sleep, though? I've slept on trains, buses, planes, cars where I wasn't driving, and that sleep is never the same quality as sleep in a bed.
I think the high-demand "premium" channel is the best - simply because there is no limited supply.

I used the bridge metaphor for a while, but unlike bridges there is no maintenance required from increased usage or traffic jam generated from high traffic to netflix or google.
> Discriminatory hateful speech absolutely limits the freedom of the discriminated group

How so? Speech is just speech.
I agree that this is where the smoky flavours are supposed to come from. So your question remains unanswered. Perhaps guaiacol is generated from intermediate compounds after distillation? From chemical reactions with the barrel?
I'd say it's a process error if the requirement specifications are locked at the point they reach a dev team.

Preferably the requirements are explored by the team with the stake holders.
Ah, the free market dream, where any attack on consumer rights is just an excuse for new company to sprout and take the lead! Too bad that in reality that doesn't happen.

Ignoring Net Neutrality is something that financially benefits ISPs especially when ignored as part of a cartel. When noone does it, noone has the incentive to implement it.

Also, do you really think a new ISP can just appear, dig up new cables, wire up whole swaths of United States without being obstructed by existing ultra-rich companies lobbying in the local and federal government?
(It's a rethorical question, here in my county the main Telecom used a lot of dirty tactics to make sure that the competitor had utter hell of a time trying to dig in their FTTH to compete with major telecoms obsolete copper system. The digging and building permits had to be fought on basis of every few city blocks due to bribery and friends in mayors office).
Any sufficiently complex engineering job involves a social component unless you can somehow isolate yourself from the rest of the world.

I had many engineering jobs when I was a junior programmer where there was a well defined interface, a well defined job for me to do, and I did it alone and submitted the code without review and it worked.

But, when I started working on teams and on more ambitious projects (some of my own invention), everything changed. Suddenly, I realized that I could achieve more by engineering people through writing design docs, code review, and cat-herding.

Yeha, it's less fun to program humans, but you can get more done.

This really stood out for me too. Her commute is awful, but it seems more like a conscious compromise that she herself opted for (Larger house, cheaper budget, longer commute), given her work situation (able to work from home) and personal lifestyle choices (likes to take her time, takes the stairs at the station, gets off the train a stop early to have a leisurely walk on her commute).

Maybe it was the style of writing in the article, but it didn't give me the impression that Ms. James is unhappy with her choice to move.
You seem to have picked the town that is furthest away from an Autobahn in Southern Germany.

There are plenty of small towns along the Rhine or near the Bodensee that are commutable to Zurich.

People commute to Geneva from France too.
You can come up with examples where it's infeasible for a programmer to decide halting, but that's not the same thing, because feasibility is just about the amount of time or resources it would take to do something. One can imagine giving an arbitrarily difficult program to an arbitrarily bored programmer, and having an answer to whether it'll halt after ten years. But that's pure thought experiment, because nobody would ever actually do it, because it wouldn't be worth doing.

That is, the undecidability of the halting problem hinges on the need to specify a mechanical/formal process for making the decision, which cannot be done.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

edit to clarify: What statements can you (anyone, not just personally you) make about the expression I'm making with any degree of accuracy or confidence?
It's generally not profitable to start new ISPs and a neutral ISP would be even less profitable than an evil one.
It is, though I'd say the average is closer to 100-120k. Not sure why that's a bad thing though.
Politics in the US are controlled by the rich, so the idea that "the people" are choosing to deal with the consequences of this housing crisis is absurd.

What's happening is that the wealthy are externalizing all the suffering caused by their voracious rent-seeking onto those beneath them, including middle class developers who think their interests align with them (they don't).
Woah what, can you source any of that? Seems like you just took an opportunity to attack a political mindset.
Well, it is still a huge fight to get many devs to stop writing "C with C++ compiler" style anyway.

The C++ community that cares about C++Now, CppCon, ACCU kind of material, does care about applying functional programming ideas to their daily coding.

Soon? When has a major infrastructure project that hasn't even broken ground ever realistically promised to deliver for any reasonable value of soon? And Hyperloop is far from even being proven feasible, much less breaking ground.
"The nazi party came into power with less than 40% approval and gained that power that nearly destroyed the world."

The Nazis first attacked and destroyed the free press and other free-speech institutions. Robust legal protections for free speech, and a culture of vigorously defending it, will prevent tyrants from gaining and maintaining power.

There is no 'paradox of tolerance'. The intolerant are intolerant, no matter which side they are on. Peaceful racists should have their say. We are all free to disagree and shun them. This isn't ivory tower. This is part and parcel of a free and open society.

Thanks for taking the time to respond thoroughly. You have as good a position as any, and similar to where I think I am.

The one thorn I have is defining "violence" in the modern age. Specifically in situations of disparite anonymity.

More and more, I'm tempted to classify "dox'd by anonymous strangers on the internet" as violence against an individual. Something like "gross violation of reasonable expectation of normalcy."

Hypothetically, I attend a white supremacy rally. I'm photographed there. Two different situations occur after.

Situation 1) A neighbor recognizes me on the local news. I receive shunning in my community based on those who disagree with my beliefs.

Situation 2) The internet posts a picture of me (let's say through random chance vs others) and decides that I'm the face of racism. Campaigns are organized to disrupt my life as much as possible.

Even though non-physical... there's sometime disproportionate about 1,000 strangers working to ruin one person's life. Especially as more and more of our lives are trivially influenced via automated and invisible information systems.
