Not to say anyone here is wrong, but I'll weigh in with my experience, which is success with a team that was a mix of remote and on-site. Maybe it was just a unicorn, but it worked quite well. The downside to that, though, is the remote workers have to be prepared to feel a certain amount of disconnection from the rest of the team who are probably having lunches together and group activities that leave out those who aren't physically present. Otherwise, I think it ultimately comes down to how the team and the leaders of the organization view the remote employees – not as synonymous with freelance "techies" working in their underwear, but playing on the same field as everyone else and having as much value to bring despite not having their butt placed in a specific chair.
We will not adjust your salary downwards if you take the "delocation package".
I asked "What is taller, a dog or a giraffe?" and it didn't know. Common sense is not yet in the knowledge graph. Maybe it can't perform comparisons

Also: "What is the largest city in Europe?" -> "New York City".

"What is the largest city in the world?" -> "Gotham City"

So it seems to make KB lookup errors and probably can't do logic/set operations.
Then you're in luck, because there are a shitload of other tech companies in Seattle to choose from!

Yes, if you are a developer. Work is very easy to come by, though the vast majority is nowhere near as innovative or exciting as it once was here.

I can't help thinking that this move by Zapier is a way to reduce turnover. I have several friends who smugly relocated away from the bay area, who now hate their jobs and can't leave them because there are no local opportunities.

Working remotely may be different, but the problems of networking and finding new work still apply.
Seriously, what was happening in 2003 that made Mozilla employees angry?
Exactly. Because startups are only allowed to interview on site in an approved conference room within a 10 mile radius of Sunnyvale.

I also heard a rumor that getting funding for a startup requires a product with some traction. It isn’t like Sand Hill Road is lined with VC ATMs.

Read The San Francisco Fallacy by Jonathan Siegel if you think success with a startup has anything to do with a Silicon Valley proximity.
Wow! Hiring managers should really know better. Age >40 is a protected class in US employment law.
Indeed it's a semantic change. Are you saying you'd like that change to be proposed separately? That can't be done for the text format for the obvious compat reasons. It also has very little value on its own, as it is only one of many things that prevents actually skipping inner functions during parsing.
It's very much like mind reading. Or like a language you have with the dog. My theory on herding dog intelligence is because they are reliant on their vision and their brains need to be better at processing all that vision requires equates to smarter dogs. My BC was so reliant on his sight, I have several memories of him not being able to find a treat or something because he didn't see where it landed or it went under something. He knew he saw me throw it, so he'd get kind of frantic an look all over the place. Eventually, he would realize he had a nose and could smell around for it.
Yeah, this is like Red Hat spinning off RPM as a separate business...
I don't think "hopelessly wrong" is correct, but we live in the era of clickbait titles, so of course it's not correct. Also, how "long term" is he talking? Because sure, in a billion years, provided Voyager isn't swallowed up by a star, the map is not going to be useful. I actually designed (and got) a tattoo based on this design, except that I updated the data on my version with data from newer astronomical catalogues, in particular a 2002 Australian survey that updated most of the p-dot values for these pulsars. Decoding the original period/p-dot values and locating the pulsars from the catalog data wasn't too hard, and some time after that effort but before I actually got the tattoo, I discovered a work online in which someone else had also decoded the p-dot values and found which pulsars they used. I compared his list to my own and was happy to discover we'd found the same. I also re-encoded the p-dot values which originally had Voyager's "launch date" with the value of my birthdate. I dropped a couple of the pulsars because the 1969 data was very far off from the 2002 data, crossing some imaginary error threshold in my mind enough to be dropped from the map. I personally believe the p-dot values are sufficiently precise as to be uniquely or nearly uniquely identifier data for the pulsars, I mean in the fantasy universe in which this actually amounts to something. It's estimated there are 200,000 pulsars in our galaxy. Surely ET has a computer he can use? Again, in this imaginary universe where ET finds Voyager (or me) and really sets out to crack the code, and we're not using some stupid scenario in which it's found in a billion years...
Regarding point the second point. I assume there's a cost associated with using the weapon, even if it's untraceable.

Regarding the Berserkers, it sounds a bit like a grey-goo scenario with self-replicating machines that wipe out all life. My personal feeling is that these scenarios are unlikely. If it were possible, it would have happened already... but it would be interesting to hear more systematic discussion of this point.

With my brief googling, I've found it pretty difficult to find anything on real "cosmic sociology". The research work I've found has mostly focused on human colonization of other worlds. I feel like it would make fun reading if there's anything out there.
Look at Idris to see how this kind of thing works.

Posting this in the hope that it might help some people grok what they are actually doing:

When I first discovered what Yoric and syg were doing, the first thing that I thought of was old-school Visual Basic. IIRC when you saved your source code from the VB IDE, the saved file was not text: it was a binary AST.

When you reopened the file in the VB6 IDE, the code was restored to text exactly the way that you had originally written it.
The comma operator has more uses than that. One of them is to introduce some needed side effect in a sequence of definitions, without introducing a statement (out of esthetics, or C90 compatibility concerns):

{
int x = (side_effect(), initializing_expr());
int y = x + 42;

From C99 onward, this could be:

{
side_effect();
int x = initializing_expr();
int y = x + 2;

We use the comma operator in for loops because it has places in its syntax which take one expression. This limitation can arise in other contexts, like some macro MAC(E) where E must be a single expression. If want to to have two sequenced effects in there, we can use MAC((eff1, eff2)).
Yoric is working on a "proper" implementation and I'll be assisting in the design work, and if needs be some implementation. I think the next milestone here is a working demo in Firefox with Facebook page load.

At a personal level, I feel pretty confident that BinaryJS will help your case. The theory behind the gains was pretty solid before we designed the prototype. The prototype, for me, basically proved the theory.

My personal hope is that by the time we're done squeezing all we can out of this - which includes zero-costing lazy function parsing, and on-line bytecode generation, we can cut the "prepare for execution" time by 80%.
I buy paper for books that I think are likely to be worth reading years down the road, long after Amazon has collapsed.
Some languages mix static and dynamic typing. For example MACLISP used this to great effect to make MACSYMA super fast. All the numeric code was statically typed and the compiler built code that was as fast as hand crafted assembly. Yet you could write conventional Lisp code that called this static code just like any other code. MACLISP derivatives like lisp machine lisp also implemented this stuff and used it for system code. I used it heavily.

All that survived into Common Lisp but I am not up on the current state of lisp implementations and have no idea if people bother to take advantage of it any more.

Just a curious question: is Apple applying the same standard and blocking also black supremacist and black nationalist (and say Islamacist stuff that is clearly anti-others) with the same vigour as it blocks white supremacists and neo-Nazis?

Because if an "invention" is obvious it isn't patentable ( http://www.bitlaw.com/source/35usc/103.html ), and many many people see this as being far too obvious to be patentable.
Completely agree with this. I'm 6'5" (196cm) and on most flights my femur is approximately the pitch of the seat. I have no choice but to "manspread" on many flights.
+1 on single-copy frequently being faster than zero-copy. See https://lwn.net/Articles/580194/ for a real-world example from the Linux kernel.

On the topic at large, I think microkernel vs monolithic is not actually the important distinction in kernel design; robustness could improved vastly if the business logic of a kernel were implemented in a memory-safe language instead of C or C++. Register bashing and system setup won't ever be effectively captured by a typesystem (knowing what the semantics of hardware are is the hard problem, and GIGO applies to typesystems as much as anything), but most vulnerabilities are in code that doesn't directly interact with hardware (even if they're in a driver for some obscure hardware, it's generally the syscall-facing side that gets exploited).

I'd like to see more OS development look at non-UNIX designs, rather than trying a million different ways to implementa UNIX-like interface.

Hm. This seems hugely beneficial.
It seems to be a index as in a index in a textbook as opposed to an index like the DOW from what I can see. I'd like to see something more along those lines for comparisons sake.
This response is why you should never use analogies.
I guess it probably comes down to preference, but I can take a list, write a one-line .c->.o transform, a one-line link target, add in a clean target etc etc faster with make.

Sure, I can write these as functions in bash, call once for each source file, check return codes etc etc, but I find expressing dependencies faster than writing anything like robust code in shell, and make deals with failed steps by stopping.
ISPs also "have responsibility for the content on their platform" and police content already (for piracy, for example).
Yes. I live an hour from big box stores so I know my UPS driver by name.

5) I use my cart as a queue of things to buy that I don't need "right now". I'll let things pile up in there until I do need something. I think it is a waste of fuel, boxes, etc. to place an order every day of the week instead of one box a week.
Well, you would be wrong.

Every step between a customer and completing an order is a loss of sales.
Does that mean that location is not taken into account for salaries, or does it mean that if I start in Croatia I get $30k, but if an American starts in the Bay Area and relocates to Croatia, he'll get $120k plus a $10k bonus while I'm still getting $30k?
The reason is probably super inflated salaries in bay area due to high cost of living.

Lock in has probably less to do with this than pure money aspect.

It's almost as if you believe there are only 3 tech companies in Seattle.

Heck, those 3 aren't even the only big tech companies in Seattle, there's Apple, Facebook, Oracle, Twitter, etc. etc. let alone all the other smaller ones. There's more tech companies here than you can shake a stick at.
Trying to spin up axioms and theories about the game theory of whether or not to destroy alien species seems hopeless to me. There's so many parts of it that hinge on what is or isn't possible to know and do in the first place. It could easily swing either way based on countless factors we know nothing about.

I'm far from saying for sure that something like that is definitely true, or even more likely than not. But it seems reasonably cautious to me to not arbitrarily broadcast out to the universe our location and rough technology level. We have no idea what might be out there or what its capabilities and thought patterns might be. Or rather, it seems hopelessly naive to me to just go ahead with such broadcasts, confident in our theories that nothing could possibly go wrong.
Yes, but it would have access to DOM, GC, etc.

I love Netflix. Back when they paid for their bandwidth via the postal service, they paid for distribution and I paid them correspondingly. Then they switched to streaming and it was good for all, despite the immediate purchaser of distribution changing.

My point is that the cost of distribution is going to be paid one way or the other. I don't see why we should make federal rules about it. You really want a society where the national government is not in charge of communications.

How does ethics play out here? Promising an employer to work for them just to lure them and get an H1B visa and then ditching them? Doesn't sound ethical.

There is very little in the way of empirical research on the effectiveness of patents and specific patent policy elements, so regulators are fairly hamstrung; they know the area is important but mis-formed, but they can't really get some form of consensus as to which elements are broken and which aren't.

In Canada, for instance, federal government's patent policy research apparatus is essentially two people. Two.

Additionally, the epistemic academic work required to provide a proper critique of the industry is not well funded by public or private sources. On the private side, most interested parties are incentivized to be patent maximalists, while on the public side, applicants are basically pitching an argument to the legal academy that indicates that their central dogmas are so tremendously wrong so as to be unjust.

Additionally, the issues caused by a lack of patent reform are not acutely felt by the majority of individuals or industries, which means the benefit is concentrated while the pain is distributed. Representation at industry forums, accordingly, is slanted.

In the pharmaceutical space, for instance, WIPO had no issue with crushing access to medicine until there was a global outcry, and patted itself on the back when they introduced access provisions, despite themselves admitting the provisions were basically unused after four years following their introduction because the local industries and talent that they presumed were already dead and gone.

TL;DR: No inertia.
But this guy had zero experience before applying for the job. If someone tells you they have "limited" experience programming, then they do not have any experience programming.

I guess "start up pays delocation bonus that is less than 1/3 of a signing bonus at the big valley companies" is not as complelling.
Meh, I think, assuming communication is possible, the possible gained knowledge is of greater value in the long term.

New mathematics, new ways to see physics, new art and culture, etc. and most of it would have been nearly impossible to create de novo. An easy solution to prime number generation? Easily worth Italy in value, if not more, over the medium-long term. Multiply that by a planet and all of it's history.

Hell, the dumb accounting records of even a small municipality for a few decades from aliens would be worth at least a Luxembourg in terms of information you could glean from it. (Not to make it all about money, but to give the info some sort of value we can understand) An alien civilization would be astonishing in terms of it's value to science and culture, etc. Forget BC or AD in terms of marking time, it would be Pre-Contact and Post-Contact.

Why kill that? Why destroy the golden goose? That would be so stupid.

Ok, maybe come in in disguise, give them an internet type thing, glean every possible bit of data from it, then sterilize the civilization. Best of both worlds? (pardon the pun).

Still, the matter we are made of is only ~5% of the universe. Dark matter is about 20% and dark energy is about 75%. So, odds are that whatever the aliens are doing, it's in those realms. Realms we cannot even begin to think to access and modify yet. If anything, if they see us, we're acting like a goldfish stuck in a bowl to them, no threat whatsoever.

I'm guessing those are uncontended timings. I haven't been able to think of a good way to do it, but I'd like to see contended timings compared as well. Having a fast fast-path is great for many reasons (a fast fast-path will reduce contention all on its own, and systems can be designed to minimize contention), but the contended case can be much slower on some microkernels, and I have no idea what the overhead is on linux.
the salaries are not due to cost of living, they are due to a competetive labor market.

Agreed. That's the whole point of Slack, it's not limited to real time chat. When you need a break from what you are doing, open it. If you are busy, close it.

Behaving exactly like humans do is not a prerequisite for intelligence or reasoning. I think its a mistake to put us on a pedestal and saying "if its not like this, then it doesn't count".

Did you intend to address this?

A few critical problems in the US that you don't see as much in Europe (especially DACH + NE where bike culture / support is fantastic):

* is a clear respect for the fact you're in a 4,000 lbs vehicle and I'm on a bike. If you hit me, I die. Drivers in CH stop and wait meters away for bikers to pass the intersection. People in America ain't got time for that I guess.
* Great intra-suburban bike lines that can support multiple commute speed bikers on electric assist or not. (Try riding from any south bay city to any other non-adjacent south bay city)
* General conditioning to driving culture. You gotta get somewhere, you hop in your whip. Walking or other forms of transportation are looked down upon.
I was trying to support the comment against slippery slope rhetoric by citing an example of "the left" inciting violence. I wanted to make the point that we might already be slipping down a slope that the parent parent comment seems to only attribute to being problematic for the neo-nazi group.
