> Who uses opiates who isn't addicted to them? You think being rich gives you a pass on addiction, and chronic pain?

There's a difference between dependency and addiction. The former is physical, the latter (mostly) psychological. The former is much easier to treat.

That being said, it's almost impossible to not be both be dependent on and addicted to opiates if you take them for chronic pain over longer time.
I worked at Google for a year, and am currently at a much smaller company in San Francisco. There's plenty of alcohol consumption at semi-official work social events, and I've seen some recreational marijuana use as well and nobody bats an eye. But I've never heard of developers using drugs for performance enhancement. It may happen, but it's certainly not part of the general culture, and I've never felt any pressure to use stimulants to keep up. I consider myself to be a high performer.
> So is WPF heading the way of Silverlight?

Yes and no. WPF has a long security support lifetime ahead of it (much longer than Silverlight got), but the present is and has been the UWP XAML stack with all new feature investment going to it (where both .NET and C/C++/"native" code may take advantage of it).

(For what it is worth, to go ahead and answer some of the FAQ: With .NET Standard 2.0 the migration story from WPF to UWP XAML is the best it has ever been. UWP apps don't have to Store published and sideloading has been on by default and as easy [if not easier] than Android APK/Windows MSI installation for more than a year now. UWP apps can contain classic Win32 desktop apps using the "Centennial" Desktop Bridge and even communicate with those parts for an eventual/piecemeal migration strategy.)

Because it benefits the company to say so in PR statements.

Also it's going to be hard to _completely_ replace human lawyers; you'll need general intelligence.
You're right, COL adjusted salary is a more accurate metric. According to NerdWallet, COL in Brooklyn is ~22% higher than Seattle. If you're looking at Manhattan, you should be comparing Manhattan vs Seattle-Downtown. Living in Seattle outside of downtown is more comparable to living in Brooklyn.

The really lucrative jobs in NYC, are the ones with Hedge Funds that are based entirely in NYC. Places like 2-sigma, Jane-st, DE-Shaw, Jump, and others. The offers they make, are hard to match anywhere else, even after COL adjustments. If you're considering a job at a random NYC tech company though, I agree that the salary may not make up for COL.
Thank you for the response--I can see why I was downvoted, but it might have been a bit of a mystery without understanding how the charging networks work.

This is almost a sad day for the photo community. VCG has been suing Chinese startups and companies for licensing rights for a while [1], many of the licensed photographs appear in "free" or "CC0" websites. A year ago, we received a request of paying a 50k RMB penalty for a set of images downloaded from free CC0 websites as well as a set of images previously appeared in PetaPixel which then quoted from 500px in 2014 (this was before VCG's investment in 500px) - however VCG claims they have copyrights on them. The way to waive this penalty is to buy VCG bulk licenses or sign agreements with VCG to purchase their products (if you buy stuff from us, we won't charge you from the previous infringement issues!). When asked about why these photos show up in full resolution in free websites in the first place, they didn't provide a clear answer. One reason is that it is difficult to shutdown "pirated" and free image hosting sites created under individuals. For all these penalty or payments collected, VCG almost never repay the contributor or photographer. But I guess neither does their counterparts in the U.S. (this is a much larger issue that I won't expand here).

So if company A used 500px's image in 2014 before VCG's investment, and company B quoted company A's article, and you re-tweet or re-blogged company B's article, VCG (who now has copyrights in China for 500px images) might go after you to collect penalty but never contact A nor B.

Advise to startups : to make sure you don't infringe any copyrights, do a reverse search on VCG's database (especially you have market in China) as well as Getty's/shutter stock's database and never trust unsplash-ish websites (they also have no model releases that will get you in trouble). These stuff could bite you back in years if you have a photo floating somewhere in your public Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account.

Now that VCG has acquired 100% of 500px, what would (or could) happen is they will crawl anyone who has referenced 500px photos in China and start to threaten to sue in exchange for opportunity to gain more subscribers for their media library. Last year a couple of social media accounts on Wechat was forced to shutdown by this [2]. VCG quotes different penalty for different images, and it is usually 1000 RMB per image.

I worked in a seafood plant that wasn't this bad, but had similar policies.

- During rushes, it actually made sense. You can't stop the line because someone needs a break.

- You learn to regulate your fluid intake/output to correspond to the scheduled breaks. Eventually you adapt.

- These are tough, grueling entry-level positions. There are many, many awful things about this type of work that you just accept.

- Floor managers are often some of the dumbest people you will run into. Anyone smart enough is saving the money for another job/college. The people promoted to supervisors really don't want to apply themselves to another line of work. As such, they all have a mentality of wanting their floors to look busy, even if there is not a lot of work on hand. Having a powertrip over denying bathroom breaks is often part of this.
Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. Such discussions are always the same, which defeats the purpose of this site.

It's not ideological like "taxation is theft" and whatnot, but overweening national generalization works the same way for practical purposes.

Huh? I just `dd` the official image onto a USB drive and it works 100% of the time, with various UEFI-using machines.

(Except for that one Gigabyte mainboard which I returned upon finding out that its v1 firmware will only boot Windows 8.1. Not even Windows 8.0. There was a firmware update that fixed the issue, but without a bootable OS, applying it is a chicken-and-egg problem.)
Explain to me the justification behind using an interview process that deliberately placed no emphasis on realism.

This guy wouldn't be using binary trees at Google. He hasn't used them before. They are of minimal relevance in his area of expertise.
Is this news to anyone at Google or Facebook or Apple? I wager that those three companies combined spend a large sum of money in all the world’s capitols in order to influence regulations.
Indeed, atleast for most popular email providers that should be the case.

it also helps if you report senders that repeatedly bounce that way to spamlists. That usually gets a lively reaction.
I have come to the point with my back and hip pain where sweatpants is about all I can wear. I can't even wear most underwear. Any constraint at all around my hip flexors, hamstrings, lower back just yields excruciating pain after just a few minutes. Jeans are completely out. Most days I can't wait to get home so I can switch into my pajama bottoms.

Physiotherapist, doctor, chiropractor, all shrug and look confused when I describe this.

Luckily my employer doesn't care what I wear to work.

Dress sweatpants could be a lifesaver for me.
Yeah, I do. I'm graduating college this semester though, so I don't know if you're looking for someone that Junior.
give me like 2 weeks, I'll hit up the fabric store and Victorias secret.

First run I'll probably learn a lot. Second run will look good.
> It's about income distribution.

so you've got some people who (for whatever reason) are prevented from making a decent income. how are you proposing to solve that problem by routing an income that is contingent on their inability to generate their own? We have tried that for 3 generations and poverty is worse than ever, inequality is worse than ever, the food stamps go to buy drugs, and the only solution you people have is to take more money from "the rich" and pour it into the same failed social programs.

> I think that inequalities should be reduced, and that means taking from the ones who have, to give to those who have less.

people who generate their own income are going to have whatever they generate less whatever you take. people who cannot generate their own income are going to have whatever you take less your operating costs, and spend it on non-discretionary consumption items like food, rent, healthcare. which are provided by people who don't need your welfare. so you're simultaneously creating a dependent class or poor people and a guaranteed income stream for the wealthy. this is why your idea has always failed.

>And if you take from the ones who have the most, you are not creating poor people, you are just improving the balance.

you'll observe that the ones who have the most are the ones who write the tax code. good luck taking from them.

>I don't understand how taking from the rich to give to the poor would be a bad thing.

1. creates a class of poor people who are dependent on social programs for survival.

2. "Taking from the rich" happens through a political system that is designed to protect the interests of a subset of rich people. so the rules are manipulated to take a lot from rich people without political connections, and route money towards rich people with political connections.

Goldman Sachs is so much bigger than Google. Google is substantial, but it's nothing compared to Goldman Sachs.

Goldman is a company that's funded entire wars, on both sides of conflicts. If you dig behind almost all revolutions, governments, and companies, on the planet chances are Goldman Sachs is behind there lurking.

Google can only dream of having 1/1000th's the influence of Goldman.

I'll bite on your suggestion of a different process.

Bring the candidate on site for a 4 hour coding session. Provide a standard list of questions the scale in difficulty. Think:

1) Fizzbuzz

2) Reverse a string

3) Write a calculator class/script

...

100) Write an algorithm that can search compressed text without decompressing it

So you see how far and correct they can get with an IDE ... and maybe no internet connection.

Noon - Hiring Manager lunch
Afternoon - 1 or 2 design interviews on the white board.

So you have done a few things here that I want to outline.

A) You got rid of the stupid whiteboard

B) You have one process that scales for experience levels!

C) You can tailor the problem set at a certain of difficulty to specific languages

This interview style ensures the developer/engineer knows how to code, and can be weighted appropriately to certain skill levels.
Sure. It’s just an entry in the book. But if they’re doing large orders like it says, they need to spread across multiple exchanges to ensure best prices.
Sorry, this isn't something that should be accepted. The company should have adequate capacity to compensate for a body break. If they don't, then they aren't hiring enough people and they should hire more people. I'm sorry that you had to endure this, but you shouldn't. It's unacceptable working conditions.
My guess is that equity in Circle was part of the purchase price -- hard to know for sure since the terms weren't announced, but this probably wasn't an all-cash deal.
Apple's price is $349 for the 32gb model and $449 for the 128gb model. The US cellular market might obfuscate the actual price of hardware through subsidies and bundling, but that's not the case in most international markets. The iPhone SE doesn't look like a particularly good deal compared to a similarly-priced handset from Xiaomi or Huawei - $349 is practically flagship territory these days.

> Not even Apple can make iCloud “Just Work™” the way Dropbox’s client apps and service work.

Not surprising. Apple's main business isn't building a file syncing service and while they're a much larger corporation I'd bet that Dropbox has more resources dedicated to its core product compared to Apple's iCloud file syncing offerings.

Scientists needs to start using a "training set" and a "test set".

If you have 2000 samples of data, you don't train your model on it and then say that's your success rate. You'll end up with conclusions that don't generalize.

Instead train on 1600 and measure your success on the remaining 400.

Similarly, don't look for statistical significance among your 2000 samples and conclude that's the result. Do it across 1600 and then validate it on the 400. If there is a real result there, it'll reproduce. It now makes your process robust to overfitting / param hacking.

You avoid the green jelly bean problem entirely.

I think the biggest problem is that nobody is working in the clearing and settlement areas. Nasdaq, BATS, etc., do not touch that aspect of it, although Nasdaq has tried their hand at clearing in the past.

The big players that you'd expect to move first in traditional financials would be the clearing houses, notable The Clearing House and Apex, with Apex, as the scrappy upstart, seeming to be the obvious candidate for offering vaulting/clearing facilities for cryptocurrencies. I'm surprised they haven't made a move into it, though I've heard rumbling that they've been dipping their toes into the space.
Not that I don't think it will be useful for this. But Iridium is already offering LEO satellite service for low-latency government / military use.
That's also why giving money is a lot of time not a solution. Despite being easy, lazy and making people feel good about it.
> The Khronos Vulkan Portability Initiative continues to refine and define a universally portable subset of Vulkan 1.0 that can be run at native performance levels over Metal and DirectX 12 drivers. Released into open source today is the MoltenVK library from The Brenwill Workshop, which translates calls within the Vulkan portable subset to underlying Metal calls on macOS and iOS. MoltenVK uses the open source SPIRV-Cross cross-compiler to translate Vulkan shaders into underlying native code formats. MoltenVK is being made freely available for all developers, with no fees or royalties needed to ship commercial applications.
For 4Q16:

- iPhone 7 - $650-850
- iPhone 7 Plus - $769-969

Yielded an ASP of $695

4Q2017:

- iPhone X - $1000-1150
- iPhone 8 - $650-850
- iPhone 8 Plus -$800 -950

Yielded an ASP of $796

That is a year-over-year increase of 14.5%, with the only real change being the iPhone X. I agree that some movement of the ASP could be attributed to Apple only offering 2 storage sizes for the iPhone 8s, but really, the price ranges are very similar if the iPhone X is excluded. It could easily be argued that, because Apple also offered their cheapest iPhone ever in 2018, there would be more pressure for ASP to be decreasing [0].

You are not alone. As an immigrant to the United States (coming from Europe where I built my career but originally from Africa), I can guarantee you that is a very popular conception. I continue to meet people who assume that their holidays are federally mandated for instance, but it is not the case. The US is alone among the developed world in this regard, and it is quite shameful.
A somewhat odd reoccurring conversation we all have is discussing our dislike of long periods of not being stoned. I personally feel I get naively optimistic, and being stoned make me more critical. I am more easy going (too easy going?) when completely sober, and tend towards obsessive creative introspection when high. It is not a rare topic, the discussion of our long term heavy use, for those of us that are more health minded. In addition to my heavy smoking, I ironically am a marathon runner too.
> Goldman Sachs is so much bigger than Google.

Goldman is more politically connected (and more widely invested, at least per dollar of assets, because it's an investment bank, and not tech firm that invested in other firms incidentally), sure, but Google is much bigger by many measures (nearly 8 times the market cap, for instance.)
I started a large latte habit (which sounds silly) a couple months ago at my new startup job, but I've been working in tech for 3.5 years now. My tolerance is low so thats all I need to get kickstarted... but now I'm pretty dependent on it and can't get nearly as much done without it. At my last job, some SEs would have 5+ cans of coke a day. I think it was an overdose of caffeine/sugar.... which actually might be more unhealthy than Adderall. I'd be curious to see what people think of that.
What I see is a tougher job market, justifiably

Yeah, as this kind of software progresses, fewer people will be required to do one of the main jobs that lawyers do well - reading through tons of legal documents.

Additionally, even mediocre attorneys and paralegals will be able to provide a good level of service by leveraging the software.

What will happen is that the industry will need to focus on higher-level tasks to find productive work.

Sorry to sound cynical, but unfortunately for the rest of us, idle lawyers usually do a great job of creating new work for other lawyers out of thin air.

Like I've always said: when a medical doctor runs out of patients, he can't just go around breaking peoples' legs to make more work. Lawyers, however, can cause a great deal of destruction when they want something to do. That destruction creates work for yet more lawyers. The ultimate display of that ability is when they go into politics. :)
Stock deal. Circle got $135m cash on a valuation higher than that. (480m in 2016: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-24/circle-in...)

So they're probably buying Polo for X shares of Circle, where X depends on their current undisclosed valuation. But it's probably a pretty big chunk of their total.

What I Did Wrong as a CTO
I think the one good reason to make a phone for the budget market is app developer mind share. While developers obviously cant avoid building for iOS, the more data you see of overall users/your users coming from Android, you implicitly start building for Android first and then your iOS app "catching up". If you are a resource constrained company in India, in China, I imagine you build for Android first and then iOS. This lost mindshare would be problematic in the long term.
I also recently incorporated RDL's into my routine. Mainly to hit the hamstrings with more weight as the hamstring curl machine has a pretty low max weight and in general is annoying to perform.

I was just recently thinking that the deadlift is probably the lift I enjoy the most. There is a rawness to it that just makes it so satisfying. Also it's usually the lift where you can lift the most so that adds an extra touch.

The deadlift is killing my hands though. My callouses are starting to become a bother and my hands are pretty raw for any other lifts later in my session.
