My experience is a bit different. The real problem with me being overqualified is that I want to be paid for the qualifications I bring, and they don't want to pay that much. They aren't afraid that I'll move on soon. They just have sticker shock.

Now, if I take their low-ball offer, if they pay me as if I had 5 years of experience when I really have 30 and for whatever reason I have to take that job, then yes, I'm out of there as soon as I find someone who will pay me what I'm worth. I like the work, but I do this to make money, not just for entertainment.

And why am I worth more money than someone with 5 years of experience? I don't even work as hard as those people; why am I worth more? Because I get more done, and it's done better when I do it. I don't write the bugs those people write, so I (or somebody else) doesn't have to spend the time finding and fixing them. I don't design the bad architectures that they design. And so on.
The trouble with Sandberg saying Facebook allows fake news ads
I didn’t build anything for Windows Phone (or any phone) so I don’t have much experience with the platform’s SDK weaknesses. I mostly heard that programming for it was pretty nice but that it just wasn’t worth it because of the user base. That’s just my anecdote though.
That's been well covered elsewhere in this thread and other threads.

I'm not going to say the claim it's not viable is original, nor am I going to argue that claim. But it is on topic.
I wasn't the original commenter, but I don't think when they said "owner class" they meant passive minority shareholders with $200K portfolios or people with some money in their 401Ks.

While some of the richest are certainly entrepreneurs, the largest percentage of Forbes 400 are people who got there with OPM, other people's money, like hedge fund managers. Another chunk are heirs like Waltons or Kochs. Did Waltons get something for nothing without any risk? I would say yes, they did.

The vast majority of my employees where STEM employees. Programmers, IT, traffic engineers, etc...

There's a difference between 'it should be done like this' and outright refusal. I'll listen eagerly to the former. After all, I probably hired them to do things I could not. If I could have done them, I'd have not needed to hire them. I have no time for the latter.
No, you won't be as productive as me.

The fact that you were not aware how Vim is different than other editor (editing language vs. keyboard shortcuts) shows that you use your current editor as a macro for keyboard shortcuts rather than something you can talk to with little verbs and nouns and combine them into complex editing instructions with ease.

There is no way you can match my speed and productivity of editing and refactoring code with that kind of approach to editors.
For facebook this isn't and never was about VR, it's always been about AR. Zuckerburg has talked about how the problems that have to be solved with VR (head tracking, frame rate etc) are the problems that have to be solved with AR before it can fully take off. Facebook was late on mobile, they aren't going to be late on AR so don't expect them to stop investing in Oculus anytime soon.
My understanding is that it was all assembly because he was reusing a lot of code from earlier projects that were written for extremely limited machines.

It's still an impressive achievement. The latest SimCity can't simulate as many people as RCT before crapping itself, even on a machines a million times faster.
they "play in" only to the extent you can safely assume everyone has some monthly living expenses (food, shelter, etc). without knowing what the specifics are, you ... just don't know.

my monthly expenses are ... relatively low compared to lots of other folks my age and in my area and profession, but I do without some things they have (bigger house, newer car, newer cell phones, etc). We could tighten our belt even more if need be, but many others can't.

as in that other example, the 22 year old might be supporting massive student debt and maybe some consumer debt. That 48 year old developer might have a high earning spouse and together they're pulling in $240k in a medium cost of living area, with no debt.

You just can't tell by looking at someone's age what their financial situation is.

One thing that jumps out in this sentence is that, grammatically, AAVE uses negative concords (double (or more) negatives), like Spanish or French, instead of the "standard" English "not any", etc. (which I forget the name of.)

Interestingly, double negatives were standard in English up until about 200 years ago, when English speakers wanted their language to be more like Latin-- that is, civilized and refined. So they changed it.

An interesting part of AAVE is that is has verbs conjugated by tense and aspect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American_Vernacular_En... . Aspect is something standard English doesn't have a grammatical case of.
What I'd like to see is an open-source version of Disney's Coaster game/simulation.

Or for that matter, any kind of roller coaster simulator. There's an excellent Windows roller coaster simulator out there ("No Limits"), but nothing like it exists on other platforms.
It may be less nefarious than that. There may be legitimate concern that the employee is just looking for a short term paycheck while they look for something more senior. Most managers are probably not thrilled with the idea of investing in someone who may not even stay a year.

Obviously it is more complicated than that. Just saying there could be legitimate concerns.
Get somebody who does Enterprise sales and offer them a nice chunk of equity. Seems like you're out of your depth on that side of things.

I don't wish to come across as callous, but wouldn't homosexuality self-eliminate itself from the gene pool nowadays because there is no societal pressure anymore on homosexuals to maintain appearance of heterosexual couples?

Don't you get it? The theme is "daring greatly...so long as the little people get squeezed harder and become more powerless..."
I don't know how much I buy (!) this explanation - if an overqualified engineer is applying for a role that is below their usual expectations, it's probably because they can't find something that is a better match for whatever reason. If they are going to up and leave to a high paying job "easily", they would have done so already.
Yes, but even faster would be actual native instructions run directly by your CPU.
Also remember that when you are comparing your generation to a younger one, you have the leg-up of an entire generation of knowledge and experience that they don't have. But they may gain that in time.

If you are concluding that your kids' generation, and your grandchildren's generation are each successively less intelligent, please take a moment to reflect if that's a generational issue, or just an age issue. Kids do dumb stuff... are you sure that you or your peers weren't doing equivalently dumb things at that age?

Block chain advertisements are bringing profits back to users
Whether intentionally or unintentionally you're demonstrating the concept of privilege that some people are making efforts to point out.

You want to play the game that you want because you believe yourself to be a rational, intelligent, logical person.

You believe you can win the game.

You don't oversleep, you have a generous data plan.

You can choose.

And you're complaining that the game isn't useful because it doesn't fully allow you to choose.

The type of person that drives for Uber and Lyft in real life don't have the privilege to choose. They are driving for Uber and Lyft.

That's why it's hard.

You may have worked hard to be where you are, you have done it from a kid squatting on the ground to poop in a third world country to being the top earner at a tech company, all by yourself. That's great, that's rare, you deserve whatever accolades you choose to laud yourself with.

Or maybe it's not that dramatic of a distance. Maybe you're a middle-income family that could work to afford college education and you studied and worked hard to afford good sleep and generous data plans.

That initial position is still much better in the distribution model of modern society than many others that can never leave their situation.

What do you choose to do about it?

> allows programmers, these very territorial beasts, to have their own little realms they control

My 25 years of programming experience says otherwise. The only place where this works is with good(ish) programmers who are assholes and must have their huge, fragile egos stroked or they'll throw a diva fit. I don't hire or work with those people anymore. Neither should you.

Joint code ownership produces better code because everyone wrote some of it and nothing is mysterious.
Your experience might be worth that much to a company who needs it, but if they are hiring for a junior role (and I mean they truly just need someone junior, not playing games), they may not value what that role will be working on enough to justify paying for your extra experience.

Nothing wrong with that... It just likely isn't a good fit.
No, it's not - at least, not if the older person has more experience.

If you insist on paying more experienced people the same as less experienced people, then all you're going to hire are less experienced people. That has nothing to do with either age discrimination or over-qualification, though. It has to do with you, the employer, being penny wise and pound foolish.

This is not an apples to apples comparison. The slaves were already in the US. Illegal immigrants are not.

I don't see much arguments from the right that it's the blacks and not illegal immigrants who are driving down wages, given the fact that black unemployment has gone WAAAAY up since the 50s. Black teenagers had a better employment rate than white teenagers back in the day.
If others don't know, the K is for kernel. I had guessed that it was, but decided to look it up. I figure this may save others some time.

It looks pretty neat, conceptually. It loads the kernel into a random location in memory on boot. I haven't looked into how random it is, but it's a good idea.

Don't. You have absolutely nothing to gain from this. Well, nothing that has any real value anyway... maybe some "sense of self satisfaction" or something. But that won't buy you a cup of coffee at Sheetz. OTOH, it could put you on the "short list" next time layoffs roll around, or even get you canned more or less immediately, especially in a "right to work" state.

Seriously, don't risk embarrassing your boss. If it's that big a deal to you, quit, and find a job somewhere else with a better boss.

>It’s also fairly obvious that the fishmongers weren’t widely consulted during the construction process. The shiny new stalls for vendors are closed off in an attempt to be more sanitary, but the design deeply limits the mobility of the fishmongers, especially when cutting large hunks of fish. (In one television program about the new space, a wholesaler showed just how difficult it is to go about his business of slicing tuna as his elbows repeatedly bumped up against the cubicle-tight walls.)

"It’s also fairly obvious that the programmers weren’t widely consulted during the office remodeling process. The shiny new office for the programmers is an open space in an attempt to be a more collaborative environment, but the design deeply limits the ability to focus of the programmers, especially when working on the complex pieces of code. (In one twitter periscope stream about the new space, a programmer live tweeted just how difficult it is to go about his business of coding as his focus was repeatedly broken and/or his attention was repeatedly called for by the multitude of other people's happenings in the wide open space of the office around him.)
At this point everyone remotely interested in blockchain should buy $1-5k of bitcoin and hold it forever. Much better odds than a roulette table, and decent chance it's worth 100x by the time you retire. Or you lose it all. But if you are a rich HN tech nerd then what do you care anyway?
Until someone goes on vacation, their area blows up and everyone else has to panic fix some code that they've never seen before.

As a manager, one of my main jobs is ensuring that the team's bus number is always above 1 and scheduling vacation time so that we always have full coverage should stuff go down. There's a huge difference between a silo and giving someone responsibility for driving the design of a component/module. The latter is great, the former is a failure of the team's leadership. You can still get pride of having built something even if you're building it for the team and, through code review, the team is accepting ownership. But individual ownership of key pieces of code has been responsible for most of the top-10 shit storms I've seen in my career and I'm never letting it happen on a team I manage ever again.

Not only was this clearly unintentional, but the issue was "resolved" (not really because they just disabled the would-be feature) and deleted the data they accidentally collected in a few days. Very few people were impacted.

The control over the economy is overall getting lowered instead of tightened.

Internet companies appear to lose freedom not because Chinese government tightens control, but they are allowed to grow to certain sizes so that state control that has always been there now is applicable to them.

> Joint code ownership produces better code because everyone wrote some of it and nothing is mysterious.

I don't think it's one or the other. You need people to be able to jump in and contribute and improve things.

But you also need responsibility for the code as a body of work. If everyone with commit access owns the code, nobody does. As time goes on and it's a snarl of spaghetti code and slapdash design, it turns out it was nobody's job to make sure that didn't happen.
It slows down over 40. There aren't as many openings that need what you have, but they still exist. It takes time to find them, though.

I am curious how many other fish markets have you been to?

Mexico City and New York City have similar scale fish markets with just as many varieties and with just as much commerce. I'm guessing someone like Anthony Bourdain or some other TV food celebrity put Tsukiji on the tourist map and so now people feel compelled to see something special in it.

And I honestly can't understand why anyone would get up before dawn to go to a 5:30AM fish auction if they didn't work in the business and understood Japanese.

WHO NEEDS TO HIRE a HACKER?
I never knew hackers could improve a low credit score until i met one on a discussion forum when i googled how to improve my credit score, i read a lady’s comment on how capable the hacker is of solving any problems that has to do with hacking. So i sent him a mail and asked if he had the ability to raise credit scores(all 3 companies) and also eliminate eviction off court records. Then he replied yes and asked me to provide him some info of mine he’ll need to run the hack. when i did just that, he completed the hack within 72 hours at a price that’s worth it. I give thanks to the ethical hacker for coming to my aid when i needed him the most. Reach the hacker at spystealth.org at gmail dot com and you’ll be amazed by his skills.
