I'm almost 30, the longest company I worked for was almost 2 years; it was a startup and they're doing very well now - I would have stayed even longer but I wanted to move to Europe. Other than that I never stayed longer than 6 months at a company and I'm really glad because most of these companies were stagnant or failed.

I've quit my job probably about 10 times now. Employers don't care at all how often you change jobs; they all think they're special and so you'll stick around for them... They all think that they're the next unicorn... Funny thing is that if they were actually a unicorn, I would stay.

If my employer is a visionary genius, I make money.

If my employer is a delusional fool, I make money.

6 months is a good amount of time to figure out which one it is.

Obama had no reason to regulate it. The first exchange was in 2009, so it was still relatively new. Most people thought it would never be successful. However, its continuing to expand in popularity and grow in use. Naturally, profit seeking Government will see the value of getting involved with regulations, taxes, mandates etc. Most likely to happen under a democratic administration imo
A general practice of many coding bootcamps is making admissions selections in part based on the likelihood of career (as opposed to academic) success. There is a degree of "would I like to have a beer with this person" in the application process which is absent from traditional academic institutions like 'Old State U.'

One of the operating models of bootcamps is as a recruiter for tech companies. In addition to tuition from students, the bootcamp receives a fee from employers when graduates are hired. This provides incentives bootcamps to encourage students to take jobs as apprentices. And whether a student has the financial resources to take on an apprentice role can also factor into admission selection.
UAE didn't tax them, and they didn't report their income back home.

If I blew the whistle, there would be no evidence to support my claim, I'd lose my job, my recruitment firm would permanently be blacklisted by the EPC, there would be no repercussions for the EPC manager, and the world would continue along. I did refuse to work the position after that, but it's not like a recruiter is going to "solve racism in Texas." I do that on my own time, outside of work.

EDIT: Yes, hearsay internet stories, just like the OP that started this thread. Grain of salt and all that.
That's it. You can legally threaten to tell the truth, and you can legally ask for money. But combining those two acts is what's illegal.

Note that I may be wrong about this case being blackmail, since the youtube videos are already posted (thanks to gamblor956 for pointing this out). Whereas "Pay me money or I will make a bad youtube video about you" would be blackmail.
There are other sectors.

The point is that the feelings aren't justified for everyone. So for the parent poster to present that as a canonical reinforcement of how one should feel, or how one's executives should feel, or how all the employees at a multinational company might feel, is completely disingenuous.
I remember looking at Hacker News in 1895 and remember the fear of automation was just as noteworthy then. Weird how increasing automation over the past 200 years has led to record low poverty and a higher standard sign living that would have unimaginable.
They advertised 13.5 video playback for the sp2017 and I'm getting 7-10 real world usage. But people have said to actually use their sb's for 13 hours, so it'll probably be 11-16 hours of real world usage.
Not just HR - the lowest rung of recruiting. It sounds like the author was doing cold-call sourcing.

Hackernoon on building a dating app
Yup. Here's how Apple lost[1] creatives:

- The laptop lineup only offers Intel graphics or AMD's weakest mobile GPUs. I suspect that Metal has something to do with why they've pretended Nvidia doesn't exist for the past ~5 years.

- The only non-abandoned[2] machine in the desktop lineup is a non-modular all-in-one.

- Apple ceded the creative-pro software market to Adobe. Final Cut, Logic, used to be industry leaders, and they had companion software products that Apple has either neglected or discontinued. Premiere + After Effects is a far more powerful & widely used toolset than Final Cut + Motion, plus Adobe's software also runs on powerful Windows PCs, eliminating Apple's lock-in.

- Pen-input is iPad exclusive. Apple has no desire to bring touch to the Mac, and while I agree that macOS is not designed for fingers, I'm sure artists would like a convertible MacBook Pro that supported the Apple Pencil.

[1] Obviously this is a generalization

[2] For all intents and purposes, the Mac Pro will still be abandoned until they release the promised new one circa 2018. The current Mac Pro and the Mac mini are terrible, ancient PCs that only sell any units because Apple has neglected giving macOS any good hardware to run on in those form factors or price points.
The finest sarcasm in this thread.
hmm...you certainly burnt lots of bridges. If you did contractor work for those companies that would be fine, but a full-time hire that does this would be a serious red flag.
Ah maybe I'm a bit orthodox here :-) But you're right. At least in Turbo Pascal, there were pointers and super nice in line assembly language.
It's not always "anti-anti-Trump."

I'm anti-Trump but I'm also anti-politics-at-work. There's no contradiction there.
I understand your point of view.

I accept your position that even though a system (theoretical) is not immoral in its design, it is very probable to be immoral in its execution. This is something that I think most people don't argue about and only focus on theoretical. I like your directness here.

Now we probably disagree on what is immoral and not.

I, for instance, think that theft of private property is immoral. Therefore the concept of private property is required in a moral society to begin with.

Let me ask you a question and see if I can get an honest response, and let's assume that utopia will never exist.

Which system do you think is best for society at large. (*Best being, least amount of people killed, most amount of people not in poverty.)

If you'd like to argue about the definition of best (it's loose) I'd be happy to.
No one is making anything up. No, Trump does not come out and say that he hates Muslims, Blacks, etc. But you are either not paying attention or purposefully remaining ignorant if you believe that Trump does not exploit the racism and hate that a large portion of Americans have.

They actually are, because Pascal knows the size of its types, while C requires using a mix of sizeof and malloc, which many people still get wrong, specially with arrays.
I can't speak for Finance but if your CS degree isn't equivalent to ~4 years of work experience you went to a bad school.
It's not that surprising that Dropbox is moving into this space. They kind of lost the enterprise battle, and are still very popular among arty people who need to share large files easily (and without caring much about security).

In a way it's a bit like Apple's move to cater to creative people after losing the enterprise to Microsoft.

They have some way to go though, cause the brand is not really there yet...
Yes, and strongly if not fully. Shouldn't it? If not, why not?
Good advice. Interesting that Canonical URLs aren't mentioned.

But the sheer arrogance of serving a webpage that doesn't render any text unless you execute their JavaScript really annoys me. It's not a fancy interactive web-app, it's a webpage with some text on it.
It is. I hadn't even looked into it, because I set the job to off hours and the domains have low enough volume even a non-graceful reload wouldn't effect anything.

"I'm simply one of the many buyers who they've seem to leave behind."

Exactly. It's fairly mindboggling that a company with Apple's resources isn't doing a better job at producing a sufficient lineup of machines.

Minis with CPUs up to quad core i7s would be great. Apple also ought to introduce a mini-tower with (gasp) upgradable components. That is in fact the "greenest" type of computer, as it won't be recycled for much longer. Apple could then, once again, legitimately claim to offer some of the most powerful consumer systems - something it's a long way from at the moment.

Finally, Apple should offer a true "pro" laptop with a Xeon processor, lots of ECC RAM, and a choice of "pro" graphics chips. HP, Dell, and Lenovo all do.

Apple is the last company left with a viable commercial Unix. It needs to offer powerful machines!

Smart sync is great news, happy to pay the extra for that.

Setting up on new computer has been painful since full sync takes couple of days (lots of small files). With smart it would be actually possible to travel with empty disk and sync needed files on destination.
I think long term you're right but at the moment str.replace() solves the problems I've encountered. That's the way I tend to develop things. Do the simple stuff simply and then expand out from there if needed. Same reason config and article headers are just plain text lines and not something else like JSON.
> Cash savings actually increase in value during crashes.

I get that, but you have to have cash savings before you can purchase assets. MOST middle class individuals can't afford to keep their savings in cash. MAYBE they keep 6 months of salary in cash in the event of a lose of work, but every other saved dollar is put to work.

You'd have to destroy their life savings to give them a decent opportunity to buy assets on the cheap.

Ah, guess I should review the documentation more frequently.
Strangely, a study on whether providing expanded medicaid* would reduce emergency room visits seemed to suggest that it did not:

> It was widely believed that having insurance would encourage people to get routine medical care in doctors' offices or clinics, instead of waiting until they have more serious symptoms and have to head to the ER, where care is most expensive.

> The study's first findings, published a few years ago, showed that Medicaid was beneficial in many ways. It improved people's financial security. They went to the doctor when they were sick. And having the insurance correlated with a drop in rates of depression.

> But the study also found Medicaid enrollees increased their emergency room visits by 40 percent over the first 15 months.

My understanding is that all "sushi-grade" fish is previously frozen. The freezing process is apparently necessary to kill/remove parasites in certain fish breeds.
Well, what does one expect when the answer given by many when the topic of socialized medicine comes is "go to the emergency room, they can't turn you away for having no money"?
Agreed.

They still do have there place though. I, for instance, was able to import the MySQL grammar for Antlr4 from the github Antlr4 grammar repository and got it working. I use it to mangle table names of all mysql requests during tests to be able to easily isolate tests within a single database that would otherwise stomp on each other.

But I don't think I'd use one for any custom parsing, like my own compiler or any grammar I get to define.
Trump campaigned on far more that illegal immigrants. Muslims and LGBT people were also targets of his.
To be blunt, it doesn't need to be justified. Should I call cars horseless carriages simply because that was the original term? Have you seen how bad the situation is in mathematics where the exact same concept has multiple names? This isn't a unique thing to have happen. Nor one to fret this much over.

In general, despite great promise and utility (IMHO), curated bookmarking of this sort never really took off. It's always been around, and still is. Why? some guesses:

Not that many people are data-oriented enough to want to use such a service. Same reason RSS is relatively unpopular.

Delicious and related services never generated the sort of social proof / payoff that drove other services. E.g. desire for friends / followers / karma were essential to FB / twitter / HN (since we are here!). Delicious was high on the personal utility, low on the social reward.

I'm not sure this is that related to Delicious' functionality, but might just be a cultural / community function, that never really developed in this case. It's not tech that makes HN awesome, it's people. But given that Digg / Slashdot faded, this may not be as popular a category. Reddit is huge now... but it's more of a forum vs. link sharing.

And these services are so easy to create, who would pay for them? In the absences of hype / popularity, not much of a business there. I switched to raindrop, which is great. But others were close.

It's very sad to me. I think that the ability to socially curate the web, and to vote up/down on such resources, is actually really valuable to the long-term health of the internet.

Maybe we're just not ready yet...

BD doesn't really have a product. There's nothing to sell. Even the military scoffs at these very noisy[1] and difficult to maintain robots, especially when they have a literal army of 18 year olds who don't mind carrying 40lbs packs into battle.

For Canny, I wrote some awesome code that I'm proud of that turns a "post title" into a unique URL.

https://react-native.canny.io/feature-requests/p/headless-js...

For example, a post with title "post title" will get url "post-title".

Then a second post with title "post title" will get url "post-title-1".

Since there's only one URL part associated with each post, it's a unique identifier.

This gets rid of the ugly id in the URL, for epic URL awesomeness.

Furthermore, if you edit the first post to have "new post title" then its URL will update to "new-post-title", but "post-title" will still redirect to "new-post-title".

Someday I'm gonna open source a lib that lets you easily add awesome URLs to your app. :)

Anything sold is sold for the sake of convenience. Most of the problems we seeing being advertised today are marketed as solving real problems, when in fact its being sold a convenience.

> I find it unlikely an ICO conviction would help anyone electorally. Only tiny proportion of voters would even understand what happened. It's not like high profile corruption or murder or something everyone gets.

It'd be so easy to spin ICOs as a matter of fraud that's taking advantage of uninformed investors, a Ponzi scheme, or any of the other buzzwords that historically work pretty well in convincing voters of criminal financial activity.

Whether or not you actually view ICOs as any of these things is incidental to whether or not an AG with career ambitions would be able use that rhetoric to gain votes.
Breaking memory circuits with marijuana
Indeed, no proof, as almost always the case with hacking. Just probabilities. Moreover, intelligence agencies that routinely use misdirection to point the blame at each other. Who knows what happened. Could have been hacked by multiple attackers too given how simple it was.

Regardless, I think the next sentence is the most telling:

Or, as CDT's Hall puts it, "If John Podesta had been able to turn this on sometime last year, the world might be a very different place."

Implying what - that Trump wouldn't have won? The leaked emails were real though. What he's saying is that if the USA had known less about Clinton, they might have picked her to be prez. That doesn't seem very likely given the very long track record Clinton had and the high level of familiarity Americans had with her, but even if true - "this feature is good because it would have kept Americans in the dark" does not seem like a positive message to send.
The Culture Cliché
In the case of the PS3 I believe its mainly a case of effort VS reward. The older firmwares are completely broken, the chances of Sony making a mistake that big a second time are low. I think developers in the console scene would rather do a hardware downgrade to a firmware that gives them complete control of the system and patch newer software to run on it as necessary instead of wasting time looking for a new exploit that might not be there.
Why not make every URL that's shown in the title bar a permalink by default?

That way, you have the best of both worlds in all cases.
