My ideal manager is someone who has been at the company as an engineer, has great people skills, and knows how to think at the macro level.

This person is promoted, not hired from the outside, and then proceeds to stop coding entirely and focus on his direct reports well being, the well being of the team, and keeping everyone unblocked.

Otherwise, they just get out of the way and let the team do its thing.

"Ireland [...] was the poorest country in Europe"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_past_and_...

Check 1972 figures.

Spain and Greece were poorer. The unlisted Soviet client states were likely even much poorer.

"Poland or Hungary is close to catching up with Western Europe."

Poland and Hungary have 1/3 the per capita GDP as Britain.
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28no... )

"Greece had about the same GDP per capita as Turkey when they joined. Today, it’s closer to 3x Turkey."

( see previous link). 2017: Greek per capita gdp =~ $18.6K, Turkey =~ $11.5K.

Also (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_past_and_... ). Greece joined in 1981: Greece gdp per capita ~= $5.3K, turkey gdp =~$2.2K.
The US did it 200 years ago because it needed to do so, in order to kick start its own industry. China is in exactly the same situation now, so why should they have it any harder? Japan did it in the 80s etc. It's a cycle countries on path to developed each go through

P.S. Are you seriously comparing ethnic cleansing to IP theft?
How in the world do you figure $0.50 per mile?

Even if you assume a modest 20 mi/gallon at $3/gal, you're looking at about $0.15 a mile. A $40 oil change every 5000 miles, and a more expensive maintenance job every 10000 miles isn't going to push you past $0.25/mi.

Are you amortizing the cost of the vehicle?

British Rail was privatized between 1994 and 1997. Let's just say that for those of us who ride the rails in the UK, it didn't necessarily make things better. (State subsidies rose, punctuality fell, and ticket prices rose faster than inflation.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatisation_of_British_Rail

Part of the problem is that the railway tracks were sold off as a unit, the trains/rolling stock that ran on them as several other units, and then a bunch of franchise operations were set up to operate the trains.

Branson has turned Virgin into a branding exercise in recent decades and slapped his logo on a couple of different operator franchises. But he never owned the track and never owned the vehicles, so ...

TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | Eindhoven (the Netherlands) | REMOTE (Europe/Africa only)

TalkJS is the chat platform for platforms. We help online marketplaces and communities build great user-to-user communication. Working at TalkJS is fun because you get to make software that is used by other software engineers and that significantly impacts the experience of the users of our customers. Currently we're looking for:

SENIOR FULL-STACK DEVELOPER

Our product is directly used by other developers, so there's deep API design work involved. We want to be faster at shipping new features and making existing features better, which is where you come in. Additionally, we're facing some big scaling challenges. Because of all this, we're looking for an experienced programmer who wants to help get TalkJS to the next level. Our stack consists of Elixir, PostgreSQL, React and TypeScript, but it's acceptable if you don't know all of these as long as you know many others.

We expect you to be fluent in at least 2 programming languages, and to have demonstrably deep experience with either Single-Page Web Applications, or relational databases, and at least some experience in both.

EXPERIENCED MOBILE DEVELOPER

We're about to significantly up our game on iOS and Android. Developer productivity is a core selling point in our TalkJS, so we're looking for someone who thinks they'd be good at designing the best mobile chat API ever made.

We expect you to have extensive experience on both iOS and Android, so that you're able to not just build a usable SDK, but a delightful SDK on both platforms that meshes well with each platform's idioms and conventions.

TECHNICAL SALESPERSON / VP OF SALES

Demand for TalkJS is quickly increasing and we're looking for help with (mostly inbound) sales. Our customers are entrepreneurs, product managers and engineers who ask highly technical questions. This means that some experience with software products is required. Ideally you can code a little bit.

You're able to quickly build mutual trust, you're great in (video) calls, and you never let a lead out of your sight. You're able to formulate questions and answers to technical matters precisely and unambiguously so that our dev team can help you close deals. You love software products and you'd love to work with product people all day (both at TalkJS and at our customers).

We're growing quickly and this is our first commercial hire. You're interested and able build out and lead the sales team as the company grows.

ABOUT YOU

Our team is small and highly proactive, and we expect the same from you. If you need to be told what to do all the time, don't apply. If you want to be the smartest person in a (chat) room full of interns, don't apply. If you want to move fast with an experienced team, get in touch.

Apply by sending an email to hey@talkjs.com. (no recruiters or agencies please)
Well, from my point of view, copyright maximalism is much bigger theft than file sharing in Malaysia.
Glad you asked - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/on-tap/
This is demonstrably bullshit. It does work.
Many years ago I got a bee-in-my-bonnet over this and tried to correct them - and got told to ~"piss off".
God, I'd almost manage to push this out of my mind, until your post..
Just to address the article (to you, another uncaring audience) - "However, tapping does nothing to reincorporate the carbon dioxide into the solution, the key element to preventing the dread foam-out."
First part true, second part not. Foaming is caused by the CO2 bubbles expanding when pressure is released and taking liquid above them out the top of your can. Few hard taps on the bottom detach the CO2 bubbles and cause them to all go to the top (no re-absorption - that will simply take time).
So few hard taps on the bottom (not the side), then opening your can, will still cause a loss of CO2 - but not the foaming.
Somebody must have 2 cans near them to try this with right now.
Shake both for as long as you want, few hard taps on the bottom of one (finger-tip with almost painful force) - and then just open them both and compare.
It Works.

This is driving me nuts -- what is this word?
Don’t feel like an expert? Share anyway.
Fair enough. I might be way off. I am basing this estimate on a very similar project I did that took the same amount of time and involved payments/subscriptions/client management, etc.

Although similar, this may very well end up surprising me. I am very curious how long it will actually take.

I will include a higher hour estimate in my quote, as you and others have recommended. Thanks!
I mean. We all agreed on IP, TCP, HTTP, etc. no reason to think we can’t do that again.

Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/

Positions: Full-Stack Engineer, Data Scientists, R&D Product Formulator / Scientist

Overview: Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling human sensory perception of flavor, aroma, and texture to predict consumer preferences of food & beverage products. We help food and beverage companies develop new products, enter new markets, and optimize their existing brands. We're a diverse 12 person post Series-A startup.

Application & Data Stack: Javascript, React & React Native, Java, GraphQL, Spark, R, postgres/MySQL, AWS

The Position(s)

_Data Science_: We didn't build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. Our Data Science team develops new models and algorithms from scratch to make second-order inference on sparse data sets from non-representative samples that generalizes to the underlying target population. We rely on cutting edge models such as persistent homology, PU Learning, and metric learning to make predictions on non-eucldian human sensory data. We don't use tensor flow or pandas or keras as they are not a good fit for our problem space. We prefer a deep understanding of math and stats VS experience running logistic regressions in Python.
(but we're cool with Python / Logit / experience)

_Engineering_: (1) full stack engineers with experience with React, GraphQL, and React Native to work on our web app for clients and our mobile app for tasters. (2) Data-Engineers with experiance in micro-batch processing for machine learning pipelines.

Next Steps: please contact Jason Cohen at JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.

FWIW, Bell's argument is completely silly, because typically when I see people doing this, it's to get access to TV shows that they wouldn't otherwise be able to at all.
The part that says a satire article is "false."

The part labelling the following sentence a "claim":

"CNN invested in an industrial-sized washing machine to help their journalists and news anchors spin the news before publication."

The part where they instructed FB to stop allowing people to see this satire piece because it would spread misinformation.

The part where they knew their actions would go a long ways to potentially destroying the ad-based satire publication.

That's not fact checking.
That's where the money comes from, redistribution of wealth is how efficiently it returns to the market.
I wouldn't fault you if you tried harder, particularly if it made people stop screaming "ZICAM!" at me every time I start to sniffle.
Once again, I've yet to see a compelling study addressing any of the emotional points about economic burden you make.

Windows has a wonderful application called Bulk Crap Uninstaller, also better known as BC Uninstaller.

It has an amazing feature to 'silently' uninstall a set of applications on your system. After which it also checks for any files that might have stayed back in the system and deletes them all.

I just hope we get a similar alternative for Android, but I have a hunch such an application might already exist on F-droid.

So what about the data for states without a city of >500K people?

For instance, the largest city in Wyoming is Cheyenne and it's only 95K...
The key is concurrent offers - until you're Dale Carnegie himself any other negotiating strategy doesn't even come close to the concurrent offers - those companies when pitted 2-3 against each other aren't unheard of to take the modest starting senior engineer offer of 500K all the way to 800K+. This guy pitted the 6 - I dont believe he ended up with just the meager 300K :)

Or, like me, they love development and don't find it frustrating, but they would rather follow the money.

Win32 binaries running on Wine is one of the best option for desktop software.

I grew up in Brazil reading French/Belgian comics. Recently, as an adult, I decided to learn French just to enjoy all the BDs which are never translated into other languages I know. People looked funny at me (and with a bit of pity) when I said I wanted to learn a language to enjoy comics but to me, it is just a medium and the France/Belgium ecosystem around BD is fascinating. Sometimes I dream of moving from IT to work on something BD related... Those books are very good.

Academia.edu | Full Stack Engineers; Product Managers; Data Scientists | San Francisco, CA | Onsite

The mission of Academia.edu is to accelerate the world’s research. To accelerate the pace of discovery. Academia.edu is building a new communications system for the dissemination and peer review of academic research.

We believe that there are some inefficiencies in academic publishing today. We believe that by shifting to an internet-first dissemination system, academic publishing can be made faster, cheaper, and more reliable.

Over 20 million papers have been uploaded to Academia.edu, out of 100 million papers ever written. About 40 million people visit Academia.edu each month to access academic research. Academia.edu became profitable in 2017 off of a premium business model.

Here are some of the priorities at Academia.edu:

- Open access: we want every paper ever written to be on the internet, available for free

- Distribution system: for any given upload, it could be distributed to any one of Academia.edu's 72 million registered users. The goal of the distribution system is to enable a paper be distributed to the right subset of people. We want that subset to see that paper in their News Feed and think “Wow, I really want to read that.”

- Multi-platform: we started out on Web, and we are in the process of releasing an iOS app. After the iOS app, we will release an Android app.

- Peer review: as papers are distributed through the Academia.edu graph, academics share their opinions about those papers, and those opinions aggregate over time.

We have raised $33 million from Tencent, Khosla Ventures, Spark Capital, and True Ventures. Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world."

We are looking to hire full stack software engineers, iOS engineers, product managers, and data scientists. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Postgres, DynamoDB, React. Our office is in downtown San Francisco. For more information, visit http://academia.edu/hiring.

The rise of alternative milks
Diamond anvil tech is just advancing into the realm where the pressure of the surface of the outer core can be held for long enough for chemical reactions to reach equilibrium. That is, to be highly useful to see what might be happening in the core. Heating up to high temperatures at the same time is an added difficulty and can only be done for a shorter time periods. I'm not an expert on diamond anvils, but follow the advancements some. It is how we are going to actually get a good idea of the possibilities of what goes on in the deep Earth. It would be really cool if humans decided to try and tunnel the 3000km to the core so we could sample it directly and be able to do long timescale experiments on bulk samples. I don't think physics fundamentally prohibits such a thing.

By short time I mean that some physical properties of matter at high temperatures and pressures can be determined by observing high velocity collisions or explosions, but these are short lived phenomena. A lot of effort has been spent on experiments like this for understanding how nuclear bombs behave. Some of those experiments help inform, say, the properties of iron under high temp and pressure and have been declassified so us mere Earth scientists can learn about it.

Agreed. For a married couple at $300k in the bay area, less than $90k goes to taxes, and that's assuming just standard deduction. Realistically, if you're paying $6k/month for housing not including insurance, you're probably itemizing another $5-$10k above the standard deduction. And at $300k, you're hopefully maxing out a $19k 401k contribution pretax. Probably you'd be spending <$80k/year in tax.

Advertising predates the internet, of course. What does not is the ability to personalize advertising to the individual using computer intelligence trained on volumes of data about people’s lives, recorded in microscopic detail. I don’t think the level of manipulation and personalization pre-internet is comparable to what advertising firms such as Google and Facebook are capable of now.

Did they? I haven't seen any statistics.
You talk about meaningful differences, but then lump a search in a database with stop and frisk. Either everyone is allowed to use hyperbole or no one is - you can’t have it both ways.
Yes, true. In the end it comes to business decision. My focus on devs is mostly because it's devs who comment and complain on HN, so my comments are mostly geared towards them.

It's true, businesses (or people who run them) will in the end judge the direction where the company will go, and their judgment is often worse that that of developers.

So yes, I would replace "devs" etc. with just "companies" in my comment.
