I couldn't find any numbers (incl. your "90%"), more clarity would be appreciated, though I understand Tidelift is still an experiment. But this explanation [0] caught my eye:

> How we compute how much to pay

> A weight. …based primarily on code size with some adjustments…

So, payments based off a clear (and clearly silly) metric that's easy to game. What could possibly go wrong?

> if there was a reasonably priced SirusXM/Pandora bundle...

The fact that SirusXM wants you to pay extra for their streaming service after you're already spending ~$16/month/radio makes me think that any kind of "reasonably priced" bundle is very unlikely.
None of this stuff is in permanent locations.

1. There will be new dunes, again above where the water reaches.

2. The beach will be the same size.

3. There will be marshlands. They will be in new locations. We might even get more.

4. Yep, lose some swamp and gain other swamp.

It all moves.

We can get more than a 2ft rise just from drawing out groundwater, causing the land to sink. We can get way more with an earthquake, going either direction. The land goes up (and the water relatively goes down) if the weight of a glacier is removed.
in theory yes, but in practice, giving the network the full information in the right format is crucial to have it train well and quickly.
Now that you've said that, I am reminded that that is coming this weekend. That especially makes the timing slimey.
A lot of commenters seem to be bemoaning this poster as missing out on endless riches. Why? we already know that being super rich doesn't really make you all that much happier compared to being rich (and if you are a programmer in work in then you are pretty rich).

I feel that they missed out more on the rocketship journey of being on a startup. And even then that's not everyone's cup of tea.

Here is the second victim with a similar story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18063667

Is the problem systematic?
In Australia (where I'm from) companies are legally obliged to keep enough cash on hand to cover employee entitlements, which at minimum is pay for the notice period + accrued leave + superannuation (may be more depending on your contract and time served with the company).

Above that, employee entitlements get paid out first in the event of bankruptcy/wind-up (i.e. before any investors or creditors see a cent).

Also, any director of a company that doesn't comply (i.e. keep enough cash on hand) is likely to 1) get banned from being a director of a company, 2) prosecuted, and worst of all 3) get reamed by the tax-office for the amount owing.

Healthcare is almost entirely public here. Employer-provided private health insurance is rare.
They do already and have been for a couple decades. Dell in particular has had a long history of doing so. Personally, I have worked for a couple companies that have done just that. Now when you look at certain classes of machines for specific workloads you will see engineering specifically for Linux. But when most people look at MSFT & Apple they are thinking about the desktop. And if you look in certain corporate environments, you will find Linux thin clients, but those tend to be very specific highly regulated environments.
Technical Project Management – tips [video]
I'm looking to relocate to the Bay next year, and I'm exploring renting a one bedroom with my partner. Our plan is to rent as cheaply as we reasonable can, even if we can afford more (that is what we are doing right now).

I think the analogy to the mines is spot on. At the same time it seems like the most rational approach for most tech workers. Even if I wanted to stay in California, as a foreigner in a L1 visa, my future will be too unpredictable to commit myself. Even after getting a green card, another recession would most likely force me to leave the area, if not the country altogether.

Having worked through 2008 I know the current situation won't last forever. In the meanwhile, I rather work in the mines and extract as many resources as I can from the ground. Once the mine dries up and we are forced to move I'll have time to reevaluate my position in life and priorities.

I find Instagram fascinating, because on the one hand it's one of my favourite social network apps, but on the other hand I kind of feel like they don't know what people like about it and are trying to kill it... Perhaps I'm just weird though and other people like the direction they're going in?.

A good example of what I'm talking about is the whole recent you've seen all the posts you care about, keep scrolling for things you're not interested in from people you don't care about "feature" that popped up a few weeks ago. They just seem to be incredibly determined to push the content of users I don't care about on me, when what I think made Instagram so great was that I could carefully curate what I follow to only see stuff by profiles I'm interested in... And what's the deal with not having a native iPad app? That's just insane!

I wonder how much of this is pushed on them by Facebook, and whether that had something to do with them leaving?

A pity that the paper doesn't include Hive LLAP in the comparison. With LLAP enabled, Hive becomes more like Impala and Drill, with persistent daemon processes providing much shorter response times to queries.

I was just about to suggest, get your process into `TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE` state and watch people squirm [1] [2]. Only reboot to recover.

You may think this is an edge case, but I mounted an FTP drive, ran a normal `cp` into it and the internet connection broke temporarily. You literally cannot kill the process without rebooting. Remove the drive, `kill -9`, `sudo` everything - nothing. Caused by a normal user no less!

SJWs Sneakily Enter a FOSS Project and Blackmail Maintainers to Adopt CoC
you can absolutely sell your code and still license it under GPL. Just, if someone buys it, and it is really GPL licensed, then they must be allowed to redistribute it without further restrictions. So any third person can then get it for free. So the only reason to buy it from you would be "because it's the sane/right thing to do" which makes it look very much like a donation...

IIRC there was a project that tried a "we give it to you as GPL, but if you redistribute it, we'll not sell you future versions" kind of deal. I want to say some kernel patch set? At the time there was quite a bit of debate about whether that's okay
I'd say it's more like conventional factory towns from a couple centuries ago.

I grew up in the Boston area, and on a recent trip back home, took my wife to see Lowell National Historic Park, birthplace of the industrial revolution in America. It struck me how similar the stories of the young women who went to work in the mills were to the young people who now flock to the Bay Area. Like today's workers, they were fleeing political instability & violence (for immigrants) or economic stagnation and lack of opportunity (for domestic migrants). Like in the Bay, they were thrust into a melting pot of cultures that sometimes stirred conflict but usually ended up broadening their horizons. Like in SF, they lived in small tenements or boardinghouses, often 2/room. Like at tech startups, they worked long hours in often alienating conditions to make capital owners rich.

The interesting thing about it was that despite all the hardship, it was very often the right choice financially for them. Many of the women who worked in the mills would "retire" in their mid-late 20s or early 30s, having saved up the majority of their wages. They were then free to do things like become a pastor (the 1840s equivalent of living a life of spiritual enlightenment), or get an education (nearly unheard of for women in those days), or marry above their previous station and have a family, or return to their hometowns and buy up large swaths of farmland that would've been out of their reach had they stayed on the farm they grew up on.

The people who really got screwed by the industrial revolution were those who didn't take the factory jobs in poor conditions - the small homesteading farmers, the artisans and craftspeople, the local merchants. They were largely wiped out as the new means of production spread throughout the world, bankrupt dinosaurs who eventually had to sell what was left of their homesteads when the dust bowl hit almost a century later. Most of them ended up catching the next wave, though, migrating to California or the Great Lakes and getting jobs in the new aerospace, defense, and automotive industries.

My personal experience is if the salary is high enough, lunch is a non-factor, you'll want to actually get out of the office and get some fresh air. $15-30 a day for lunch is a rounding error. 261 work days in a year * $20 per lunch = $5,220 a year. I'd much rather get away, go out with colleagues, friends, try new lunch places. Optimize for happiness.

As someone who is currently working in employment law (So I'm not exactly the expert on the executive side) I'd say that make sure you keep a keen eye on what else is out there, if other companies like yours are putting up lots of jobs then the industry is healthy and you typically have less to worry about from a microeconomic standpoint. I have found that when a company is doing badly, either their industry is bad and suffering across the board, or there are some obvious signs with people leaving.
In-memory multiplication engine with SOT-MRAM based stochastic computing
I know i'm wrong, and doing a misjudgement here but the fact is "Companies like facebook don't need founders, they will eventually make the product that people might use in everyday life, they will do it anyhow; by either copying that product or to buy it. Remember that the 'poke your friend' feature is only unique from facebook everything else is someone else's things"

this evil face of facebook will hurt more and more companies day after day and in a result a chain reaction that will affect the life of general people.
If you are asking this, that means you need more data. DO NOT judge startup solely based on the compensation package. Some tips to ask:

- Work environment. This involves who you will be working with and how they work together? Do they use Scrum? Have you talked to anyone that you will be working closely with?

- Growth Potential. Which one is more challenging? Which environment is more suitable for you to grow?

- Go deep in where the company stand. Competitors, market fit/advantage, etc.

- Ignore the number of stock options. Ask for outstanding shares or get the percentage.

- How's the founder?

All being said, don't be afraid to negotiate! Company take so much time to write an offer. No company will decline you just by negotiating. Least thing they will do is to tell you straight up that this is their best offer. If you like B more than A, tell them you will sign if they match the base with the other.
This has already begun.

Yes, it does. I just tried this, when I set a passphrase everything shows up as encrypted in the Google Dashboard. So maybe things changed since I wrote this, or maybe I misunderstood it initially. Either way, the default is not having a passphrase, and the passphrase setting is buried pretty deep, so most people won't set it. What's worse, you cannot really avoid an initial unencrypted sync before you can set up a passphrase. The point still stands, this isn't a system designed for privacy.

The German carbon violin maker mezzo-forte - by the way, that's one hell of an innovation - uses Wittner fine tuning pegs:

> The Wittner Fine Tune pegs retain the traditional hardwood appearance demanded by professional musicians while offering a unique internal gearing system that makes them a revelation to use.

I'm thinking about buying some of those pegs myself. I saw them for 80 Euros for a violin. They come in two sizes, 7.8 mm and 8.6 mm.

When I read violin forums it's often about name dropping. Who made the instrument? How ancient is it? When I bought my first violin I told them my upper limit and to give me instruments without telling me anything at all about them. I tried about 8 different ones for two hours and ended up spending 1000 Euros (just the pure instrument without anything else, well, strings of course, Thomastik Dominant). I never looked at any of them closely, not even the one I ended up buying. Only when I was back home did I really have a look at what I bought. Until then I only cared about how it felt and how it sounded. I considered a Mezzo-Forte (carbon) but thought I'm not advanced enough to be able to make good decision (yet), besides, it would have cost 2400 Euros, quite a bit more. What I read about that carbon instrument was pretty positive - pretty much all negative comments were almost all along the line "it's not traditional", often without even having ever tried one.
