That seems to be how a lot of these stories (and stories like these aren't really uncommon on reddit or HN) of getting locked out of Google stuff are resolved.

If you don't know someone, you're hosed. How many times have people without inside contacts or reddit/HN accounts gone through this? We'll never know.
Trying to time the market in real estate is probably as dumb and counterproductive as trying to time the stock market.

The biggest difference is that owning a home has tax advantages over stocks, so it's even worse to sit on the sidelines if you can get in responsibly.

If you're looking for a big gain in real estate, you'd do better to understand which local markets are heating up--this can be predicted from data with some reliability, unlike global crashes. (Note: sitting on the sidelines until a crash happens is not the same thing as predicting when a crash will happen.)

Whether buying a home is a good decision depends primarily on your own factors--savings, income, tax status, family status, job stability, where you want to live, etc. External factors like global financial trends have little impact.
Why "of course"? It was a great email client at the time.
I'm not sure comparing a second headquarters and a tech support site is apt. I'm not sure how loud the search is matters.

WSJ is a joke. Look, I can twist words too: "While Amazon is clearer and open about employee counts and candidate locations for HQ2, Apple remains secret and opaque about any details even for small site". Abatements abound regardless, lets not treat the differences in culture between Amazon and Apple, which translate to their way of searching for places to do business, as if one is clearly superior. (I personally don't mind what Amazon is doing in the least)
Makes sense that Nintendo would nail a similar effect. If there's one thing they're masters of, it's distilling an experience down to it's essential elements.
Microservices burned our org. Make sure you have a clear need before diving in. Microservice-like technologies have been around for roughly 3 decades. If they were clearly a better general way, they'd have taken off back then. The reasons they failed back then (as a general technique) are pretty much the same reason they failed for us.

I built a company and sold it to Dropbox. Building another company to cure Cancer using AI. Leadership positions at various big companies. Wrote a book about Entrepreneurship which is part of an Executive MBA program. Built the biggest social network to come out of India.

Because I am from India, I would never get a Green Card through EB-2 (though I have two approved EB-2 petitions). Yesterday, USCIS denied my EB-1 petition using argument which are against the law. Now I have to leave US :(

I have an approved O-1 (extraordinary ability), but apparently, once you have filed for a Green Card Adjustment of Status, you can't get a visa stamp for anything other than H-1. Not sure if I can come back!
Apparently it wasn't entirely unique to MJ since his dancing partners next to him all did the same move.
> upload of say ~20MB it would throttle my download speed

This is not directly due to the technology involved, it is due to congestion on the upstream side slowing down IP control packets (ACKs and such) as they are queued with the rest. When you have a slow upstream pipe it is very easy to see this effect. It is even worse when there are multiple upstream connections trying to use as much as they can (as seen in torrent transfers and similar), and it affects interactive traffic like SSH connections significantly too.

You can work around this by shaping your upstream traffic to reserve a little bandwidth for small interactive/control packets. If your router runs Linux there are a number of simple scripts to setup the basics (wondershaper is one I've used successfully in the past) or you can be more specific to your needs by setting up your own config with the appropriate tools.

If you usually only use one PC then you can run the shaper there instead, of course, but running shaping on one individual machine on a crowded network will have no useful effect.

(see http://louwrentius.com/how-traffic-shaping-can-dramatically-... for an example of using wondershaper)
We kill an incredible amount of civilians as well.

Supposedly this article is well researched with sources but it is trivial to search for 'civilian deaths in x' and get results in the 100k to million range.

I do understand. Triggers are ripe for improvements. We have some internal tools built around them, but nothing significant. Most helpful are protocols for humans to follow when dealing with a problem. Always start with the trigger.

At the same time, triggers saved us hundreds of thousands of lines of code and extremely complicated logic, that would be required would we wanted to replace them.
Having had three few provider and different tech, unless I have a need of 1Gbps+ broadband speed in the future, I would much rather have copper RJ11 or RJ45.

Copper Ethernet RJ45 is the best. No more modem, just plug and play. Installing a Ethernet cable is, assuming enough space in the pipe, can be easily pulled through using whatever force you like, I don't think you can actually do any damage to the cable while installing it.

The telephone wire, It is a little hard to imagine a home without these wires. ( May be there are parts of the world which don't have them a default? I don't know ). There is no need to do installing. It is Modem then plug and play. G.Fast A3 actually allows 212Mhz and Dynamic allocation of Upstream and Downstream bandwidth. And gets 300Mbps + for 300M from Cabinet, and 500Mbps or those within 200M.

I used to long for Fibre, but then when the installation comes, it either works perfectly in pipes that get pulled through, or you have to lay them out in the open and are warned they are extremely brittle. Which gets me a few phone call from friends getting nervous saying they would much rather stick with Cable or telephone wire with VDSL. Or in one case where she only has a 6M ADSL she just flat out cut the services and didn't want fibre's hassle. She is mostly on Mobile Phone anyway and her unlimited 4G plans is fast enough for what she needs. The only time she needs WiFi is when she is doing IOS update and that could be done in Office. And when the times Massive MIMO, 5G NG comes with high increase in capacity and speed. I can only imagine there will be more doing just that.

A lot of times we nerds, geeks, tech savvy enthusiast just wanted faster speed, cheaper, better tech whatever. Fibre allow us going to 10Gbps! ( Yes there are 10Gbps Internet services to Home ), without actually asking if or do the many user cares. Last mile is a hard problem, and I wish more thoughts will be put in design and installation parts.

Luckily we have people working on TerabitDSL, with spaces in between copper wires and using Waveguide-mode that is similar to use of millimeter-wave transmissions in 5G. [1]

It's important to contrast this graph --- clear as day and the next best thing to a Roman S&P 500 --- to the nonsense revisionism peddled by a certain camp that's come to dominate academia since the 1970s or so.

This camp, as part of a present-day political project, portrays the past as some kind of peaceful, egalitarian utopia ruined by "capitalism" and "colonization". In this camp's ridiculous woldview, all societies are equally complex, all languages are equally expressive, and cultural and linguistic changes always reflect some kind of peaceful transition instead of a violent upheaval.

Rome never fell, these people say: instead, it just chose to adopt the sustainable economic practices of the peaceful immigrants from the steppe. My eyes cannot roll any harder when I read shit like that.

Fortunately, these people are well on the way to being thoroughly discredited. Populations do change. Catastrophes do happen. War was rampant. Ancient DNA confirms it.

Civilization and order are fragile and worth preserving, and an honest examination of the past and strike the fear of decay into us. It took the world until the 19th century (!) to recover from Rome's collapse in all respects; for us, there will be no recovery at all.

The "War on Drugs", the "War on Terror", pretty much anything that our government goes to War with is done because of 2 reasons. 1) They're money making machines. 2) They're (re)election machines. If you're not "Tough on Terror", you're losing votes and you're losing donation money from those who stand to profit from the "war".
Why do you think that? I think Amazon will get what they want - mainly a city to capitulate to their demands. I’ve talked to people in Pittsburgh and Atlanta and the majority wanted Amazon. I don’t think most people realize outside of tech circles that Amazon will mostly bring people in rather than hiring locally and how much they have strained the infrastructure in Seattle.

If you're a small or medium sized non-tech publisher who outsourced the building of your digital publishing system 5 years ago and have been cruising along ever since, you might not be very motivated to spend real cash on a big new IT project to ensure your various server logs don't have IP addresses or other "personally identifying information" in them, just to name an example.

I'm developing internally as a retailer. Having millions of coupon codes or gift cards is important for sales and doing deals with partners or sites like Groupon. Then, with many items across many categories, as well as tons of add-on options, application and stacking of multiple rules needs to be powerful, but it seems like Spree now provides all the tools to make that manageable.
It would definitely be really nice if the UK rolled out comprehensive fibre connections – it seems like a good long-term investment for as many homes as possible to have a direct FTTP service.

At present domestic internet connections using DSL top out at 76MBps – and that's if you live on top of the cabinet. Aside from niche providers, the only other high-speed network is Virgin, which runs a HFC network at up to 350MBps (which, to be fair, is pretty cost-effective and widely available).

Doesn't work terribly well for new houses though!

Was amazed to see quite expensive new houses (£500K+) with no access to broadband available.
It's not new, though.

43 years ago, the NSA went in front of the Church Committee and claimed all of their warrantless phone surveillance against American citizens had been been closed more than a year earlier. This was a naked lie - the program was continuing unaltered even as the testimony was given.

The Church Committee went further than anything we have today - there was a major investigation aiming at criminal prosecution of NSA officials. The eventual conclusion was that their actions were obviously illegal, but that prosecution was impossible; the agency's charter appeared to exempt it from following surveillance laws, and broader charges would be deflected by "buck-passing" and subpoenaing high-level officials to disrupt government operations.

This is where we've been since the 1970s, if not earlier.

From what I've seen, the truth is the exact opposite (living in Sweden, visiting the US). Sweden is only good if you live on welfare or have a "bad" job (where the salary is inflated due to unions, plus you might get welfare).

Upper middle class people in the US are so much better off - there is really no comparison. If average Swedes only knew how poor they really are...

This is a great answer to a question we all face in our programming careers - what do I learn next? With an understanding of all of the items you mentioned, the OP will be a much more well rounded, valuable programmer. At that point finding a better job will just be a matter of showing people what he/she knows.

The hard part is knowing _how_ to measure your skills. A while back I came across an article called the "Programmer Competency Matrix" and it stuck with me (google it for reference). Essentially it's a table of CS/programming skills with measurements 0-3, and it gives the reader a way to measure/track their various competencies.

After I read that article, I took his matrix and added my own additional rows/columns that I'd like to be proficient at. To the OP - I suggest doing something similar. Write out a list of all of the programming skills/languages you'd like to have (and need to advance your career), and give yourself an honest rating. Ask a programmer friend to rate you as well. Then ask yourself - what 0's do you want to turn into 3's, and weigh that against your career choices. Then plan your learning accordingly.

Like mjmdavis said: programming langs are a means to an end.Making a choice on where to move forward isn't just about your career - it's emotional/artistic/personal. You don't want to choose a language you hate just for a paycheck. I find that being more self aware (with my matrix) has helped me learn the skills I needed faster and more intentionally.

Good Luck!
UK leaving EU doesn't mean it's leaving Europe. It still is and will be a huge business partner, travel destination etc. so I seriously doubt English will deprecate as an official language.

The study contradicts what you wrote in your comment above -- I never claimed it supports what I tell you in my comment below it, which touches on another aspect.
Thank you for this. Super interesting to hear about what's happening. At one point they told me there was a problem with the copper which meant my packets where getting dropped.

I think the reason Amazon had to announce their search publicly is because their HQ2 project is so much bigger than Apple's or any other company's.

60,000 jobs is not something you take up lightly, especially as it relates to transit and housing. It's the equivalent of a small city, and you're going to need to be prepared for it.
Mad props if you spent weekends in the Woodshop trying to make your MPs compile. Nice to see a fellow Illini around.

And yeah, there was C in that class too. Mostly enough to make sure you understood pointers so that you could get into the homework and shoot yourself in the foot repeatedly.

It was one of my favorite classes during my time there. I also had some 6502 experience which helped. But I think CS225 solidified the idea of "either you're going to understand this for the rest of your life, or you're not. Choose now."
> OCB has some nice properties, but it’s patented.

I think that’s understating matters a bit. OCB is great, wonderful, better than GCM, and you should always use it — but it’s patented. Fortunately, open-source software is allowed to use it, which is great.

If you're trying to write proprietary software, then you’re allowed to use it for free unless you’re writing military-use software.

If Rogaway had just opened it to everyone for any use, I’m pretty sure noöne would be using GCM.

> 3) Use a kinesis advantage. Blank keycaps for style points.

These keyboards are quite expensive, but totally worth it. My previous employer offered them as one of several keyboard options. I went with it due to some pain, it took maybe 6 weeks to used to the layout. Ended up buying one a few months later when they went on sale (usually 10% off around black Friday), as my pain had gotten dramatically better. The company that makes them is also pretty hacker friendly - they sell spare parts and they've been willing to help people who want to make custom controllers for their keyboards.

I actually hacked a trackpoint (harvested from an old IBM desktop keyboard) into my kinesis and used that for a while, but due to the way the sensor works it really needs a solid mounting to work well which I just couldn't achieve.

I personally have had decent luck with a vertical mouse (anker makes a cheapish one that works fine).

Humans did this in forming societies, so clearly we by and large think the answer is yes.

It's a bit weird that there hasn't been a decision about the mis-selling of "fibre" connections in the UK. Virgin's network is pretty great if you're not in an oversubscribed area, but it just seems weird to bill it as "fiber".

To be fair though, DOCSIS 3.1 can push 10GB through coax so it's not all bad.

For what it's worth, I think the license is much more critical than being royalty free in terms of value creation. While royalty free is "cool" for generic Youtubers. Professionals and corporations with real budgets have money for royalties and it can be rounding error for the money they spend on lawyers to keep them away from copyright problems. To put it another way, clear and central copyright licensing has the potential to allow the project to move well upmarket. Without it, even free wouldn't look like a bargain to someone serious enough to have a lawyer.
You can't just open an office in China; you need to be a Chinese company for that, founded by a Chinese native.

Second, any Chinese company above 1000 employees needs to have a communist party shadow management - that is, for every manager above a certain level, a party representative is active at the exact same rank with the same (probably slightly higher) management power.

That's for China though, for other countries the reasoning is probably legislative and tax related.

Likewise, an European company can't just operate in the US without being incorporated in the US.

The problem is that those tools don't take into account the quality of the wire going to your house, they just quote a best-case scenario based on the wire's length, assuming a perfect wire.

It does not take into account rusted, damaged wire, open cabinets where rain & moisture can enter, etc.

This tool gives me an estimate of 13 Mbps on my line - I actually only get 6, and when seeing the building's electrical & phone line cabinets, I can understand why, but as a consumer you shouldn't be required to manually try to estimate how "good" your phone line is - the ISP should be giving you an estimate you can trust.
And it’s around the discovery of America as well, which would also be useful to explain to an audience 1300 years in the future.
