I'm on an iPad now and the demos on the sprout core site look like shit.

I really want a good ui framework for the web, but none are currently ready.
There are reasons to prefer getting paid in shorter intervals other than not being able to manage money. Why should they get to hold it, earning interest, rather than you?

That said, your explanation is probably more often the case.
I totally agree with you that there are some rich people who have earned their wealth. I never disputed that. My point, if you read carefully, is that they're rare. You asked why I didn't focus on them, and it's because it's hard to think of any examples of business titans who are known for their hard work ethic and nothing else. For example, I might have said Michael Dell, but it turns out that he just paid off the SEC to remain CEO of his company after it was discovered that 75% of Dell's 2007 (I think) revenue came from illegal anti-competitive payoffs from Intel to not use AMD chips.

What I said (which also happens to be what I meant) was that there was a higher probability that someone with a vast sum of money had reached their level of wealth by harming someone relative to someone without that same level of wealth. I didn't say "all rich people." And I gave some examples to support my point.

An example to support your point would be someone like Warren Buffet, who doesn't have the kind of reputation that Gates and Ellison have earned for themselves. He proceeded to amass his fortune, to the best of my knowledge, slowly and as ethically as one could hope for. I have a lot of respect for hard-working and successful people like Buffet, but also those who are worth a fraction of what he is.

On the other hand, I generally don't have a lot of respect for people who start off on the assumption that I am small-minded and jealous, and then go from there. If you want to make a point here that's fine, just don't pretend like I've said something that I didn't.
I still don't understand why you could possibly need 164 different web pages open at the same time. What kinds of things are you doing that simple bookmarks can't solve?
Poor Mans James Bond
Still kind of alarming, I mean I do personally know some google employees and none would even remotely consider doing anything like this for both philosophical and practical reasons. Either way it's kind of scary that some douche fucker "quality assurance" dweeb had enough access to do this kind of thing.

I think we ought to have some kind of equivalent HIPPA act for ALL data personally identifiable to us, not just in medical contexts. That'd put the fire under googles ass enough to take our privacy seriously. Fuck Eric Schmidt and his "change your name at 18" bullshit. We know who that fucker is right now.
Fair enough. Note that I'm not looking down on your choice of jobs (recently I've been thinking it would be cool to get a part time job as bartender but it's not feasible now) but I suppose they inevitably come with some hassle and that will be worse over time than the one-time hassle of the interviews. Besides I assumed your programming job would pay much more (well, it should).

I fully agree with you. I further wouldn't mind laws covering it. But I'm not sure there are any laws in the USA that do cover it. If not then the legal issues that are available are that he can be fired. Which he was.

(Edit: Note that I work at Google as an SRE. This limits how much I can say in this discussion.)
YouTube - Zeitgeist: The Movie - Full, Final version
There are something like 70,000 developers and 300,000 total employees, so it's hard to say anything other than "all of the above".

I mostly use Haskell and Perl. The rest of the department is mostly Perl. Sometimes I do C. Other groups are Python-heavy. There is a big Java and C# presence, and of course a lot of people that think C++ is the only real programming language.

There is some initiative to standardize on C++ and Python, but I doubt that is ever actually going to happen.

That's the message I get from this site, day after day. Some days I almost feel ashamed to say I have a day job here.
Ok, some thoughts after reading through some of the comments both here and on the original article.

1) If you are putting words onto a website, you are not designing anything. You are publishing content. That content can be a story, a comment, an ad, etc. You are not designing or building a site. You are not a web designer nor a developer.

2) If you have received a graphic representation of a site (say from a graphic designer) and are implementing that design into a functioning page using wysiwyg-ish tools that do not require you to know how the underlying html & css technologies, you are building a site. Despite the use of tools, the end result is a page that works in at least one browser. You are the base-level web developer. However, you will never work for me until you learn html, css, and probably javascript too.

3) If you are only a graphic designer and you are pushing pixels to create a site layout, you are nominally a web designer. It is permissible for a pixel-pusher to do nothing but design, but unless you have some moderate level of actual coding you are doing a disservice to yourself and your coworkers. One of my biggest continuing gripes over the years is being given visual layouts that look interesting, but are nearly impossible to implement cleanly. A related issue is that graphic designers who never actually build sites nearly always leave major gaps in the UX of their designs. They don't think through every aspect of their design (what are the hover states, what should it look like when the mouse is here or here, etc). Essentially, if you are only a graphic designer you will not work for me unless you have some actual developer experience.

In the end, you can get a spectrum from #2-#3. I am a web developer who has been doing this for something like 10 years. I have moderate photoshop skills and have created my own designs before. But I'm only adequate at design.

Other people I have worked with are primarily graphic designers that are adequate at developing. They make amazing looking designs that sometimes have a few UX problems. However, when you put that kind of person with a developer like me, you can hit a nice sweet spot where we understand enough of each other's worlds that we can really get some shit done.

Finally, my tweet from a few weeks ago about this very problem, http://twitter.com/geuis/status/22554072991

I've never seen a layout that's proven to be impossible to code (and my designer partner has thrown some pretty ludicrous ones at me.) Can you give an example?
As I noted in another comment, we can compare MLB with the English Premier League. MLB and the EPL are considered the best leagues in the world for their respective sports, but that does not mean that the U.S. and England produce the best players.

Comparing the two leagues, MLB has placed a greater emphasis on the home run (probably because Japanese players are smaller on average than many U.S. and Latin American players). However, that does not necessarily make the Japanese style worse when it comes to winning games. The World Baseball Classic is the only serious competition we've had to compare national styles at the highest level, and so far the Japanese system has won out. Granted, a sample size of two is probably not significant, but it seems all we have to go by.
Dude was a total creeper...
Microsoft has some great folks at the MTV tech center. I was impressed the lat time I visited.
The output of this guy is amazing, any OSS projects he works on will move forward and benefit a lot of people.
Nope...as long as 1. There is little competition, no quality score, and low click prices and 2. Traffic remains high quality and there is solid fraud detection I could probably monetize a good percentage of searches on ddg with affiliate offers, I wouldn't even need to arbitrage to higher paying ads like AdSense.

If the price is right, almost any search can be monetized.

This is how 2nd tier engines like 7search make money, except they have too much low-quality international and bot traffic to give steady conversions.

ddg could easily monetize and attract lots of advertisers if they published their exact search data, keywords and counts.
Wordtracker is making a mint, millions and millions of dollars simply publishing dogpile.com search data, which has a tiny (1%) share of the search market.
SEMRush is scraping Google for search data and has over 70,000 customers.

Nobody else currently does this. Privacy concerns aside, if there were a search engine that had a good keyword tool designed for advertisers, it would attract ad money in droves.
If you hang out here long enough, you will likely get to know people who work at Google. (Like me.)

I've sold several SaaS web sites with $10-$20k in revenue, not one of them for more than $50k. If you know anyone willing to give me a million dollars for the next one, PLEASE let me know.
When I interviewed with them for the SRE position I was extremely nervous (I was right out of college, and Google had contacted me rather than me submitting my resume) and the guy on the other end of the phone for my first interview seemed uninterested, had a really bad quality phone (I could hardly hear his questions), and kept asking the same questions over and over in different terms, and I really couldn't figure out what he was looking for as the "right" answer.

The Unix trivia was not nearly as bad, that was easy as I had done a lot of reading on it, however some of the data structures I was asked about I had never learned in school and had just read about on Wikipedia so I didn't really understand them well enough.

The second interviewer was absolutely fantastic, and was genuinely interested in me as a person, had checked out my resume and looked at some of the previous projects I had done (Near Space balloon launches were discussed). I felt much more at ease, but I did seem to have somehow mixed many of the different programming languages I know (C++, C, Python, Java, F#, Scheme) thus my code was less than clean.

Ultimately after 5 different phone interviews I was unfortunately told that I was not a fit, that they would keep my resume on file and that I could try for another position when I had gained some more professional experience.

The Google interview did help me get through many other interviews I had the pleasure of going to. I was less likely to be caught off guard, especially since it was my first MAJOR interview with an extremely large company. I do wish that Google had not been my first interview as maybe then I would have gotten further into the hiring process and maybe just maybe I would have been working at Google.

That is an awful lot of maybes and it is not worth brooding on what could have been. I am extremely happy with my current job, I love what I do and the people I work with at a small new startup. I feel with a small company I can make more of a difference.

It might be okay even without the "is it being 'distributed'?" question. The GPL on the kernel doesn't require that an entire distribution be 100% free-software, just that modifications to the actual kernel have to be GPL'd (and even then, there's an exception for proprietary kernel modules). So it's possible Amazon is including some non-open-sourced libraries, userland tools, or kernel modules in their distribution.

YC has the beauty pageant problem. After the 1st round the judges are left with a room full of 10's, and the criteria becomes "so... do you have any other talents?" It's a nice problem for them to have and they deserve their success for a million reasons, but I'm not applying because I'm sure they could find applicants who are just as appealing that can sing (MIT degree, prior startup success, already profitable, cofounder who's an identical twin, etc.)

There are other simpler reasons I wouldn't apply now--wife, 2 kids, and the Boston sessions are gone.
However, the fact that it's based on Centos 5 doesn't seem great too me. Granted, I've only started using Centos recently, but it seems like most packages are not kept up to date in the default repositories, and you end up having to add a few independently maintained ones to get some more recent software.

But yeah, can always just install from source I suppose. Perhaps I'm "Doing It Wrong" on Centos.

Not everyone wants to be a leader. Seriously. It may be hard for you to believe this, as it goes against how you feel, but its true.
Ah, but this is not your normal unix trivia, the questions I were asked were stuff like what is an inode, where are inodes stored, what is a scheduler, what is the difference between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem and other questions along those lines.

This is not just flags to give to a process to make it do something, this is system internals. When I mentioned that I knew FreeBSD fairly well I was asked questions specifically about UFS and the likes.

I never did get asked about flags to grep and other UNIX tools.
Thanks! So, it does show the translated keyword in the title of each wrapper (right after the country name). Maybe it needs to be more obvious -- or did you mean something else?

Yeah, allowing people to view more images would be good. Maybe just make each row of images draggable, and load more as you drag the row to the left?

Thanks for the input!

How appropriately Stallman-like (see "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" in the GPL)
I'm going to temporarily put aside what this guy did (which is really bad, but people with bad intent aren't common), to discuss what this tells us about Google (which is about The System, and cause for larger concern).

If anybody from Google can (anonymously if necessary) step in and answer questions, it'd be great.

* Different gmail accounts. Google knows they're all you.

In the original Gawker story, this caught my eye:

"...pulled up the person's email account...[and] a list of other Gmail addresses that the friend had registered but didn't think were linked to their main account—within seconds"

Keeping separate Gmail accounts is how many protect against "Google knows everything about me." In fact on Google's "What Google knows about you" page, it never crosses accounts (unless you've manually connected them).
This story basically tells us the "What we know about your account" page is a bit misleading.
Of course most folks in IT know it's a bit naive to think one could never figure out that different gmail accounts are related. But it was interesting that Google pretty formally knows the relationship, but doesn't tell you right where it should.

* SREs, and their level of access.

It's not so much that I care is a specific group has lots of access. I care that not that many groups do in total. This story makes me concerned that actually many groups have lots of access. Despite the "elite navy seal" vibe presented in the Gawker story about SREs, I'm now thinking that many, many teams have this kind of access. (Previous to this story, I was led to believe that SREs were quite low level (not in importance. but in nature of responsibilities. Very performance oriented, having little reason to have access to an individual user's data.).

Please feel free to jump in and correct this, Google peeps. It would make me feel better.

* What this does for SaaS and web apps in general

I love Google Docs and sincerely believe that most web apps that allow across-the-net collaboration are good for us. And are preferable to The Old Way.
I want people to TRUST their stuff to Google (and Github and Amazon, etc).

I hate security FUDers who love to derail conversations of great possibility with some far out scenario, "Can my enemy see my Google Docs?!?!"

I'm way less worried about a few creeps who work at Google (they work everywhere...) and more concerned about laissez-faire access processes.
Wow...it appears Daniel Faraday left the island and took up programming...
Perfect! Thanks for the summary, hard article to grasp if you aren't using those technologies mentioned.
I don't understand how your anecdote illustrates your point. He looked for Japanese first, then Asian. The problem was the "Asian-American". I assume if there was an "Asian" option he would have picked it.

(Yes, I know that in Japan "Asian" almost always mean "Asia - Japan", but I think a college student wouldn't fail to realize that outside Japan, "Asia" does include Japan.)
So this genius violated policy, and then bragged about it to his victim / the person who have the most reason to report him?

He's totally dumb.
Centos 5.x exactly tracks bug-for-bug what RHEL 5.x is. That is why some of it appears old.

If you don't need or want a free version of Linux that is exactly compatible with RHEL, then simply add some repositories, such as EPEL or the DAG repository (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/ ) .
I love that this is on the front page at the same time as Don Dodge's blog article about what an amazing job google does at hiring people:

Not entirely true. There are two sides to the SRE positions. The sysadmin side is indeed what you say they are, they work on the systems keep them running and do hardware related tasks as well as UNIX level tasks.

The software engineering SRE's work on products to make sure they are ready to scale or if something fails to fix the point of failure. They work alongside the product development teams to make sure the product is stable in production.

The two positions require two different skill-sets (I was interviewed for both sides of SRE). One requires very much computer science, data structures, programming languages, and all of those, the other sysadmin requires more knowledge about Linux, its internals, and the command line interface.
This is a nice thought-provoking article.

Pale white skin has a history here in Japan much longer than anime. Look at geisha for example. On the other end of the spectrum, there were Gangaru walking all around tokyo at one point too:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganguro

Japanese women especially are well aware of their skin's natural ability to change color and often treat it as a fashion decision.

A heavily tanned caucasian can be much darker than an asian, latino, african american, etc... I think many westerners would be surprised that caucasians don't always have "white" skin if they actually looked around the world with a critical eye.

I use MySql and Redis for persistence, depending on the type of data. Both get written to on a purchase: MySql upgrades the account info, Redis holds my A/B testing stats which just had several tests score points. If the MySQL write fails, I have a CS emergency because my customer can't get what she paid for and I probably just ruined a lesson plan for tomorrow. If of the Redis writes fails, my A/B test results that I won't look at for a week anyhow shift in a way that almost certainly doesn't alter my final decision.

It is absolutely OK to lose analytics data occasionally, and indeed with the variety of ways to bork that (js is off, user agent prefetches undisplayed page, bot action, etc) if your stats aren't robust against it you are screwed anyhow.
And unless people spell it out in conversation, no one would know to search for "Xe" anyway.

It wasn't sarcasm. It was a shortened version of the argument that, among other things, the iPod Touch is the most important device in the iOS product line and it has always been the case. As such, Apple carefully positioned it as that it will be as invisible as possible (for example sale numbers are bundled with iPods not iPhones) while it slowly grows to become "the one". The decoy was apparently good enough that even Google failed to notice the opportunity. They made the Nexus free from carrier but not free from phone parts. Or, it was, generally speaking, some argument along these line. But since long arguments lead to useless arguments, they may become poison to this "forum". So I avoid. Most of time. Now you owe me 8 upvotes. [sent from a Chrome browser NOT on the ChromeTouch].
