This is a false tradeoff.

Early retirement is almost always an option for middle-class or better Americans. It's just a question of how much pain you want to put up with in terms of housing, lifestyle, where you want to live, whether you want great education for your kids, etc.

I used to agree with your comment but don't anymore. I have enough money at this point to earn 10s of K/year investing in real estate or doing something else. I don't because I like working in tech, being part of a team, using my education and talents, and generally working on making the world a better place.

I don't really want to "do whatever I want".

Will I believe you or will I believe the secretary-general for the OECD?

“We have reached a tipping point. Inequality can no longer be treated as an afterthought. We need to focus the debate on how the benefits of growth are distributed. Our report ‘In it Together’ and our work on inclusive growth have clearly shown that there doesn’t have to be a trade-off between growth and equality. On the contrary, the opening up of opportunity can spur stronger economic performance and improve living standards across the board!” OECD Secretary-General

Hmm, I wonder ;-)

Joel Spolsky had an interesting (and, I think, accurate) take on the pointlessness of performance appraisals: the only possible outcomes are it can be neutral, or you can completely piss off the person you're appraising. If the appraisal is anything less than glowing, you're just going to demoralize the person you're reviewing: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/03/incentive-pay-cons...

Right. My 2013 MBP had a "charging circuit" issue. The laptop worked fine, the battery was fine, it ran on AC. It just could not allow a charge to the battery.

Me: No problem. I'm sure it's no more than maybe $200, parts and labor.

Apple Store: So because we have to replace x, y and z to do this, you're looking at $820.

Two thirds of the original purchase price of the laptop to repair the ability to _charge its battery_.

and that's why governments should hire software engineers that can be in the loop and understand not only the technical but the policy side. Hiring an army of contractors earning 300k/year to deliver "something" in the waterfall model is a recipe for disaster.

> yet the process had no bearing on anything.

Possibly had a bearing on compliance stuff that wasn't relevant to anything you were doing. Having to have an annual review may be some legislative requirement that makes little sense for what you're doing. (or, at least for the level of time/effort involved).
Let's cut through the nonsense here, you're advertising your product in someone else's post, and successfully became the top comment in doing so. Thus diverting any other discussion on the authors work, to only yours. I'm all for good discussions, that's why HN is my only forum I participate in, but doing this, in my opinion, sucks.

I can't find evidence that Bernie advocated tariffs at these levels. I know he spoke against "unfettered free trade" and new agreements like TPP, but I remember him talking more about taxing the import of labor (US companies using foreign labor) more than materials (US companies importing goods).

It also looks like the Commerce Dept was staunchly against this idea in 2016[1].

OK. So here's a scenario: I have a DB table that keeps track of email notifications sent out. There is a column for the address that the email was sent to, and another for the time at which the email was sent. A second table keeps track of replies (e.g. clicks on an embedded link in the email). Feel free to assume additional columns (e.g. unique ids) as needed. When some particular event occurs, I want the following to happen:

1. An email gets sent to a user

2. If there is no reply within a certain time frame, the email gets sent again

3. The above is repeated 3 times. If there is still no reply, a separate notification is sent to an admin account.

That is a common scenario, and trivial to implement as code. Show me how make would help here.

>I'm not saying they haven't made mistakes. I don't even care if the replacement program is PR driven--It's still the right thing to do!

Sure, but doing it under PR pressure kinda dilutes it. I still welcome it. I've had battery issues with my 6S too, where it simply shut down in winter. Apple didn't reach out to me at all (even though they had my info since I purchased it directly from them). I chanced upon an article about a battery recall and that's when I realized that my battery had a defect. Apple doesn't have a lot of trust surplus with me. YMMV.

>And, supporting 1.3 billion devices is an enormous engineering feat.

It is an engineering feat, maybe a mini, or a middle feat. I'm not quite sure whats enormous about it. They control the hardware and software. They have only a small number of models, which are identical. Samsung has hundreds of models. (Not that I think Samsung is doing a stellar job)
And that's really, really the top-end, if you're insanely qualified and insanely experienced. I spend a lot of time on StackOverflow (who among us doesn't?) and of course I see the targeted want-ads in the right rail; most of them include salary information and it's usually around $80-$120, so they're thinking $120 is for the most qualified of the most qualified.
Sorry if the tone was a bit much! I figured it would be helpful to establish common terminology that people can refer to, and I'm serious about our excitement here – not exaggerating.
Luckily, so far, it's been both more money and relevant experience. I stayed at one job too long between 1999 - 2008 and then I started being more aggressive about my career and salary

Probably within the next two years, I'm going to max out what I can make by job hopping - I'm okay with that- I'm actually okay with what I make now.

Then it's going to be about what looks interesting, a decent rate, commute, etc.
I am aware this is not contributing to the thread but... the only way I can summarize my feelings on that is 'holy fuck'. I just spent a minute just muttering 'holy fuck' to myself.

TowerView Health | Philadelphia, PA | Full-Time | Remote and In Office | Back-End Engineering | http://towerviewhealth.com

TowerView Health is a rapidly growing, venture backed startup in Philadelphia looking for a creative, self-driven back-end engineer to help us scale up our service for patients.

We help chronically ill patients manage complex medication regimens in their home. We partner with pharmacies that send patients customized pre-sorted medication trays that insert into our custom-designed smart pillbox. Our pillbox can sense when medication is removed and send patients and/or their caregivers automated reminders. Explainer Link: https://youtu.be/vWaBJVrSOiE

We sell to health insurance companies and hospital systems so patients receive it for free. Our patients love us because we take away the complexity of managing medications and our customers love us because we keep patients healthy and out of the hospital--only 33% of patients take their medication as prescribed and 125,000 people die each year because of medication related errors. We’re on a mission to help patients and revolutionize the way that medications are taken in home.

Experience in/with: Node.JS, Docker, microservices

Projects we work on:
- IoT backend processing sensor data to help identify patients who need care
- Microservice backend platform to manage data from multiple client web applications
- Automated notification system to coordinate online and pillbox-centric alerts for patients

More info here: https://angel.co/towerview-health/jobs/96130-backend-enginee...

Shoot me a message or an e-mail at hareesh@towerviewhealth.com if you have any questions or just want to learn more about the company.
This is great for me. I use dropbox for my personal files these days instead of GDrive because there's no native linux client for Gdrive. There are some 3rd party ones but they're not that great. I've also been moving away from Google Docs and now the only thing I have in my GDrive is a financial sheet for budgeting that I like to access from my phone. I'll probably store it on Dropbox now.
Indeed, it will be interesting to see how this works, since on with Google Docs the documents are not actually stored on Google Drive (just a placeholder/link that opens Google Docs when you open it). I would expect that this works there same, because so far there are no Google Docs file formats.

It should also be noted that Dropbox already had Office Online support for a while, which allows one to edit Office files that are stored in Dropbox in Office Online. This integration stores the actual Word/Excel/PowerPoint documents on Dropbox, so after syncing you have these files locally as well.
None of the demoed capabilities are released yet.

The current version of React is 16.2 (see release notes: https://reactjs.org/blog/2017/11/28/react-v16.2.0-fragment-s... ). 16.3 is getting closer to release and will include several new aspects, such as revisions to the lifecycle methods and a simpler `createRef` API. The async stuff that was demoed today is likely to be in a 16.4 release later this year.
It will definitely take time for Uber to earn trust back, and it is fair that you feel the way you do. Hopefully Uber will earn your and other people’s trust through us showing over time that we continue doing the right thing.

My intention here is not to go into details, which would not be appropriate for me as an engineer that doesn’t work on those aspects. I am only saying we care a lot about this.
That is almost certainly how many people will view it, and is the reason why we are set-up as an extrajurisdictional company: it will make enforcement very difficult.
This story is the prototypical example of why I'm cynical about government and its ability to effectively use tax dollars. When people say that taxes should be raised, I would generally agree if the government agreed to match the the tax increase with an efficiency increase.

I may have overstated things a bit for dramatic effect, but writing a short, cogent paragraph that shares your point of view will most likely not dazzle anyone. If anything, people will most likely simply read it like it was written by a regular user who uses the discussion board to discuss things.
Lumen5 | Engineering - Frontend, Backend, Full stack, Machine Learning | Vancouver, BC | Fulltime, Onsite, https://lumen5.com

We're a small startup (7 people so far) that is growing quickly! We're writing software that uses machine learning to automatically convert text into video for digital marketing teams. Lots of interesting NLP, machine learning, video rendering, and web scaling technical challenges. We're hiring a few different positions:

Senior Frontend Engineer (react, redux): https://angel.co/lumen5/jobs/327963-senior-frontend-software...

Senior Backend Engineer (django, elasticsearch, postgres, kubernetes): https://angel.co/lumen5/jobs/327961-senior-backend-software-...

Senior ML Engineer (tensorflow): https://angel.co/lumen5/jobs/327960-senior-machine-learning-...

After Effects Extendscript Developer: https://angel.co/lumen5/jobs/329439-after-effects-extendscri...
We are supposed to set annual goals/metrics, but don't know what we're doing 3 months out. This was also the case at previous company. Pointing out the task is impossible doesn't seem to bother management. Success Factors seems to make half its income from this sort of thing, so I assume it's trendy.

There is a process managers are supposed to follow for promotions, which is good on paper, but it's pretty clear managers only do the paperwork steps of that and pick based on their own criteria. The one aspect of that that seems to function well is managers get nudged about people who haven't been promoted in a while.

Usual funding issues with promotions, but I think that's true everywhere.

Overleaf (www.overleaf.com) | REMOTE | (1) Developer for 'Server Pro', (2) Growth Hacker

We're hiring for two positions at Overleaf, which is an online LaTeX editor with over 2 million registered users. We help academics collaborate more effectively and make LaTeX easier to work with. We recently acquired ShareLaTeX.com and are merging the two platforms into Overleaf v2.

1. Developer for 'Server Pro', our on-premise solution for enterprise: We are looking for a full stack developer to help us scale up and improve our product, processes and documentation for on-premise customers, who currently include Oak Ridge National Labs, Deep Mind, and many more. Ideally you will be comfortable with Docker, build automation and technical documentation, and with talking to technical end users to work through problems and make improvements to prevent those problems from reoccurring. See https://www.overleaf.com/jobs for more information and how to apply.

2. Growth Hacker: We are looking for a data-driven and technically savvy marketer to develop and test new content, propositions, landing pages and experiences, drive conversions and improve our funnel analysis, and drive engagement and make sure churn stays low. See https://www.overleaf.com/jobs for more information and how to apply.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working with us:

- Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of Free Software.

- Working hours can be flexible to your needs. Applicants in or near GMT preferred.

- We’re agile (with a lowercase a). We test thoroughly (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

- Remote is a first class citizen, all founders and employees work remotely. We get everyone together in London every few months for valuable face to face time.

Please see https://www.overleaf.com/jobs for more information and how to apply.

What sort of transportation? Are you talking about based on income level? Age? Could you clarify?
What a dumb usage of an acronym. You really couldn't put Certificate Authority in the title? CA means so many things it's laughable. Is this meta clickbait?
The key phrase is "thenable", which is a term for anything where `typeof variable.then === "function"` is true.
That's strange to hear, I thought it hadn't changed in ages.
It depends a bit on the position but an interviewer/HR might look suspiciously at an applicant who essentially had a second paying source of income, unless it is insignificant.

If it were me I would certainly mention the apps I had published but would downplay how much money they make you.

On the other hand, if you are going for a product management role for similar apps, then that experience will certainly be valuable to a company.
I hope to someday read a comprehensive post-mortem but I doubt there's anyone involved who can/would write one without a lot of bias against the other parties involved. This will go down in an annals of massive software project failures.
> "Do you need an app to prevent you p[l]aying games?"

This is like asking if people need drugs/therapy/whatever to prevent them from smoking cigarettes.

Games are addictive when designed innocently, and many modern games are designed to create addiction. Loot boxes are possibly the most visible example right now.

> "Did you start a for-profit tech company just to 'help' people?"

Helping and charging people are not mutually exclusive. I'm certainly not a hard-core capitalist, but I do know many people whose passion is to help others and the rate that they charge is to allow them to have good quality of life at the same time.
And this is why Age of Empires never got its pathing or engine rewritten in later versions... oh wait.
I think that, in most cases, the annual performance appraisal "dance" is a CYA for companies that might have to go back and justify the firing of a low performer. Unfortunately, some of the managers (especially the low-middle managers) haven't learned to read between the lines and recognize that the performance appraisal is actually just a formality and try to actually use it as a club to beat more performance out of people who are already overburdened.

In January I caught the flu and was down for 2 weeks. Amazon Prime Now and food delivery services like Uber Eats were a blessing.

The reason why takeout isn't cheaper is they want to encourage you to sit in the restaurant. You're more likely to order drinks, desserts, and have a more controlled/positive emotional response to the eating experience.
Consumer protection laws. "Hey, I bought this $2000 laptop last year", an investment of their money.

Company, "Too bad. We don't care. Buy another one."

An investment in ensuring a device is able to live out a normal life. Laws come into place because companies show, repeatedly, that given the option they'll have absolutely no reluctance to be apathetic to that.
