I'm not a recruiter, but I have many years of dealing with them both as an employer and an employee, a few friends are and they've asked me for my opinion in several occasions, the latest when one of them was thinking about expanding into my native country.

Inshort, I'm not a recruiter, I know a bit about the recruitment industry but I'm not an expert. However, until you get more views, here are my two cents:

1) Without knowing the niche or the contacts you have in it, I don't think I can answer this but my gut feeling is that you might be a bit too optimistic.

2) Assuming you have a big enough pool of candidates and clients, a single recruiter should be able to handle that level of work.

3) As you say, base salary is difficult to judge without knowing the local market. Bonus seems a bit low to me (but again, not an expert).

4) Might depend on your niche, but seems like a reasonable assumption.

5) From what I've seen, three months might be a bit high. The recruiters I've worked with usually ask for 10-20% of gross yearly salary, half when the candidate commences employment and the rest once the employee passes the probation period (usually six months).
ICO of the day: CryoGen – bringing crypto and cryonics back together once more
C isn't hard. C is easy, in fact. This is the main impetus behind its popularity: people liked it, in part because it was easy. Security is hard in c, in part because c tries to make things easy for the developer at the detriment if security. Javascript is in the exact same posistion. Why is javascript popular? Because its easy. Why is javascript easy? Because none of its features are focused on security.
That’s not true at all in practice. If it were then we’d be seeing 2x as many transactions confirming after SegWit went live (we’re not).

There's no such thing as a trivial change to the bitcoin consensus rules, especially when that change requires everyone to upgrade their software at once on pain of financial loss. We're talking something that's never been done before in the entire history of Bitcoin.

Also, running a full Bitcoin node on a machine with a spinning rust disk and a relatively small amount of RAM is going to be hell - especially if that disk is heavily shared - because it has to do a lot of random reads from the chain state DB in order to retrieve outputs referenced by the transactions, with the number of reads scaling linearly with the block size. I think some of this may be skipped during the initial block download these days, but you can hit 1 minute plus per block easily just with the existing block size limit. It looks like the hosting provider he chose has some kind of SSD cache of unspecified size which might have helped, if everything fitted in it.
Same for me... I sometimes sleep 12 hours a night, sometimes 0. Having worked remotely with flex time for the last 5 years, I have to say, it isn’t that hard to communicate with colleagues even without a set schedule. People are almost always awake at noon.
Thoughts on nomorobo? Ive been thinking of signing up.

The spam calls are ridiculous. I have to keep do not disturb on 24/7, but some have caught on that they can call twice in a row to get through.
And that as in turn led to the current "political climate." Inconic that the union busting party now have a leader they can't control and could also lead to the party imploding.

A classic case of be careful what you wish for.
I remember your name. I think it was from reading about the Minecraft protocol, which makes sense if you wrote a server.
Yes, he does kind of prove my point doesn't he...
Yeah, it seems plausible that he thought he had to pay $29 in BTC, and so googled and paid that - but it came out 0.000004 BTC lower. And later when he found that what he paid was now $31, he also thought "well that's more than what I had to pay".

You mean... like this? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Value_overflow_incident
Bitcoin was a perfectly reasonable way to buy a game on Steam in February last year. Of course my 0.035631 BTC purchase means I could have paid $15 cash and saved the coins and had $287 worth of BTC today. So maybe it wasn’t reasonable.
> But aren't they referred to as enemy combatants because calling the POWs entitles them to rights and process that as ECs can be denied to them.

Not my understanding, no. Which POW rights are you saying they've been denied? The problem with POW / EC is, to my understanding, more about them largely not actually being uniformed soldiers. Which they can't really be because they're part of a non-state entity.

> This is also why they are not kept on US soil, yes?

POW are very commonly not kept in the "home country" of a warring force? Being in the US, or a de-facto sovereignly controlled area like Guantanamo, would give them additional rights, that's true, but by my reading that's unrelated to being a POW, EC or whatnot.

> Also don't we have to be at war to have POWs? The US is involved in a number of conflicts but none have been declared wars.

That's why the 2001 AUMF is so important. The US is essentially at war with AQ and associated forces, except that they're no state entity so you can't formally declare war. And e.g. ISIS is argued to be a successor of al quaeda. Hence they argument that the laws of armed conflict are applicable.

IANAL.

Please do not mistake my arguments here to be arguing that I agree with all that's done under this logic. I'm only saying that it's not quite as simple as often argued.
Oh yeah, I'm pretty dumb and I managed to do very complicated stuff. It seems a bit tricky to "get" at the beginning, but it's pretty easy.

The trick is to learn what node does what, because there are lots of them. You can also download community nodes for additional behaviors. Once you learn the basics, it's pretty straightforward.

I learnt by trial and error, looking for examples and info about nodes, and now I have some workflows with data from DBs, files, APIs and all at once.
The development was heavily influenced by what particle physics experiments required (developed at CERN and Fermilab so that makes sense), so the field naturally uses it essentially exclusively. It makes it easy to store C++ classes on disk, so after C++ was adopted as the language of the field post-Fortran, it became the natural tool. The event processing, fitting, and plotting tools were part of that “what particle physics experiments required” line too.
It is hard to understand how you could even think this is so. This is so wrong that the hardest thing to do is to decide which way it is wrong first.

- You can't lose your rights without due process of law. If the mere assertion was enough we could throw anyone in the clink without meeting any burden of proof.

- Treason is only special in that the high bar to prove it is outlined in the constitution and that it carries the possibility of the death penalty. It has no bearing on your rights as a citizen.

- The right to discover whom is being held and for what purpose is so basic that by definition it must apply to everyone including non citizens or else it is worthless because you first necessarily need access to this information or to the party involved to establish the basis of anyone's right. If they disappear you in the night we can't establish that you have rights that are being trampled if all we have is a theory that its you the government is holding in a gulag.

Why have you sworn off medium articles? Is the quality too consistently low, or has medium as a company done something to annoy you?
This article seems lacking some examples. I have found that such ideas are nice in theory, but when it comes to practice, they tend to fall short.

So the author says that it's a good idea to write logbooks, and that it will help. But no mention on how it would help, and what would you actually do with them after you write them up.

A few concrete examples would have been nice.

If the idea is to help you solve the problem more efficiently, why should it be formalized? as opposed to scribbling notes on a notepad that you throw away at the end of the day.
If true this might inform big tech's position with respect to net neutrality. It seemed a bit off that the FBs, Googs, and other big user facing tech cos would want the FCC and not the FTC in charge.

Ask HN: Is there any info on undocumented Chrome API for talking to YT TV?
I noticed that clickfarm websites have recently started turning on my TV youtube app with some undocumented Chrome API, and trying to push random viral videos on it.

Is there any info on the API/Protocol. When I was trying to dig on my own, I found out that the code is missing in Chromium.

Indefinite detention would certainly violate at least the spirit of the law.
If we're going to be so open-minded about not knowing what's best for a worker, recognizing that they have their own agency and so forth, then while we're at it, why don't we also admit that we don't know what they're thinking, or why they supported or opposed this or that? Meaning we have no idea what information they based their decision on, or whether that information included disinformation or a FUD campaign.
The fact that you used BTC for that purchase doesn't matter, you could also have decided to buy BTC instead of anything you bought with another currency.

Although in an environment where the main national currency experiences deflation like bitcoin, you do actually see people responding to the incentive by reducing current purchases, which is bad for economic growth.

Ask HN: Haskell vs OCaml for Compiler Writing?
Which programming language is better for writing a compiler? (For example, Haskell might be the better "functional" language but side effects + OOP might be more convenient for building a symbol table, or one language might have better compiler-specific tooling than the other.)

> I notice in Ebert's reviews an appreciation of films as mere entertainment in cases where is what they intend to be, and an appreciation of films as art if that is what they aspire to. In fact, one of my annoyances at his (often excellent) reviews is that he seemed to apply consciously lowered standards when he thought that a film wasn't aiming too high, which led to him recommending films that were close to mediocre, because they hit the mark they were aiming for. There is a certain integrity in this, of course.

I think he did a great job voicing his own standard, which I think makes a lot of sense, in his review of Shaolin Soccer (https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/shaolin-soccer-2004):

> "Shaolin Soccer" is like a poster boy for my theory of the star rating system. Every month or so, I get an anguished letter from a reader wanting to know how I could possibly have been so ignorant as to award three stars to, say, "HIDALGO" while dismissing, say, "Dogville" with two stars. This disparity between my approval of kitsch and my rejection of angst reveals me, of course, as a superficial moron who will do anything to suck up to my readers.

> What these correspondents do not grasp is that to suck up to my demanding readers, I would do better to praise "Dogville." It takes more nerve to praise pop entertainment; it's easy and safe to deliver pious praise of turgid deep thinking. It's true, I loved "Anaconda" and did not think "The United States of Leland" worked, but does that mean I drool at the keyboard and prefer man-eating snakes to suburban despair?

> Not at all. What it means is that the star rating system is relative, not absolute. When you ask a friend if "Hellboy" is any good, you're not asking if it's any good compared to "Mystic River," you're asking if it's any good compared to "The Punisher." And my answer would be, on a scale of one to four, if "Superman" (1978) is four, then "Hellboy" is three and "The Punisher" is two. In the same way, if "American Beauty" gets four stars, then "Leland" clocks in at about two.

> And that is why "Shaolin Soccer," a goofy Hong Kong action comedy, gets three stars. It is piffle, yes, but superior piffle. If you are even considering going to see a movie where the players zoom 50 feet into the air and rotate freely in violation of everything Newton held sacred, then you do not want to know if I thought it was as good as "Lost in Translation."
Thanks, good to know Hacker News commenters are doing their part to fix systematic injustice.
I don't like to complain about the grammar or formatting of things posted on HN, because usually people here should be
clever enough to figure out how to read it.

But this article was really hard to read. The author needs to do a better job of enclosing examples in quotes, it's hard to parse what's article, and what's example quotes.

> Thus speak often does the work of say, tell and ask, as in I speak him why?

I cannot parse that sentence easily, because I struggle to understand what's an example and what's not.

> Thus "speak" often does the work of "say", "tell" and "ask", as in "I speak him why?"

Now that, I can understand reasonably easily, just by adding quotes. Even better:

> Thus "speak" often does the work of "say", "tell", and "ask". For example: "I speak him why?"

Change a couple of words and add some more grammar, and it's crystal clear what the author is trying to convey.
The robocalls I get are so poorly done that I wonder if they even make money. I tried chatting them up a bit after being transferred to a real person and they have no sales skills. That's if you can even talk to a real person...the transfer often fails.

Clients always balk at rates. Fire the worst ones and keep the ones who pay up if you can. You should always be looking for better clients (i.e., doing outbound sales) if you want to charge more.
You cannot gleam anything from this blurb. It doesn't talk about Germany's trade surplus, higher than average minimum wage, or strong unions that typically compromise with companies rather than threaten the company's long term stability. It also doesn't mention Italy's strikes being so common you check the morning news to see what won't be working that day.

The fact that the info comes from Amazon is biased at best, but without an analysis of both situations this is just a 'current events' blurb.
Could language choice play a part in it?
I think the reason is dysfunction of FTC. They claim they handle such cases on individual basis instead of establishing clear rules. It doesn't sound like an efficient approach to me.
> People who don't join a union still have to pay union fees?

Actually... yes. Maintenance-of-dues and other contract stipulations can mean that all members of a bargaining unit are required to pay dues fees, even if they aren't members of the union or covered by the union contracts. So, they're required to pay fees to the union so that the union can represent other people, not them, oftentimes against their own interests.

It's particularly common for teachers and other skilled, low-paying jobs.

I agree. Three-dimensional movies just are not very good. Ticket sales are falling and 3D televisions have disappeared (I have one; the effect is just as good, and nausea-inducing, as the theater's, but like most people who own one I've used the feature for about 15 minutes).

I'd say it has more to do with how the word "capitalism" is used ambiguously to support arguments for better or for worse, and how that rhetoric is woven into social policies.

Capitalism might concern itself only with only the "private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit" [0], but there is no reason that it strictly has to be deployed in a manner that is insensitive to human needs and desires. If anything, sufficient ignorance of these long-term objectives only makes it more likely that whatever flavor of capitalism that is deployed keeps consuming until it causes events that lead to its own destruction.

> It's ~ 1/3. Poverty is _defined_ as the bottom third of households.

Yes. It's fundamentally a rhetorical trick. If the bottom third had a median income of $500,000 per year, they'd still be counted as being in "poverty".

I strongly suspect that Zimbabwe, Haiti, or Bangladesh-level poverty (i.e., real poverty) doesn't exist anywhere in New Zealond.

This is also why I can't sit at the front of a theatre to watch films these days - from the middle or back of the theatre, any point on the screen is about equidistant from my head, so my focus can stay fairly static.

Up front (and especially a front corner) the bottom-top and center-edge of the screen is different enough in depth that if I'm trying to take in the whole canvas my eyes are working on adjusting focus basically all the time.
I have similar ideas. At the beginning (20 years ago) I use windows notepad.exe. It has a trick that if you put “.LOG” on the top of a txt file, every time you open it with notepad, it appends current date to it. Later on I switched to Evernote, then Apple Notes.app and settled.
Recently I added a service with Automator to allow me insert current date to a note. Quite convenient.
It seems extremely likely that most juries would probably convict an ISIS traitor on testimony alone. Actually it seems pretty likely that they would convict a ham sandwich if you put a little ISIS flag on it.

Our constitution was written for times of war and peace. When he stopped being an enemy outside our lines with a gun and started rotting in a prison cell it became a criminal issue.

Your Xcode project directory probably had spaces in its path somewhere (which, for reasons of rather outdated conventions, is less common to encounter under Linux.)

Like with any other Unix, dealing with spaces in the arguments passing through a pipeline to xargs(1) requires the NUL-delimited style:

find . -print0 | xargs -0 grep abcd

or you can stop worrying about the spaces by letting find(1) handle them:

find . -exec grep abcd \{\} \;

or, even better, get grep(1) to do the whole job (which also has the advantage of tagging each found line with the filename the result was found in):

grep -R abcd .
Good thing you inherited some software with it, and that it works.
