Well not necessarily. Number of people and projects is easy to measure, but it's far less indicative of value than, say, hours used.

In my past life as a freelancer, I might have 10 or 20 projects going, each with a couple collaborators, but it still only added up to 40 hours of work for me, and the collaborators were negligible.

Now at my startup we only really need one project with 4 collaborators, but we're getting 2-3x the value out of it.

I don't have trouble paying for full-time dev collaborators, but the head count could become a pain point once you roll in various tangential roles such as management, support and sales, etc. I'm not sure the best way to handle this without opening loopholes, but I'm hoping they reach out to some of their users who aren't quite so developer heavy as pivotal labs to discuss options.
Ah, the article should have mentioned that you don't get the gift certificates immediately. That means LivingSocial's not completely screwed just yet.

Nonetheless, not having server-side validation built-in indicates pretty bad practice. For one, it causes them a lot of grief and work reversing all the transactions. But further, it indicates that they probably have gaping security flaws laying around waiting to be exploited.
We are? I find that a rather bold assertion. The main problem of the von Neumann machine is gathering and transforming enough materials on its own. If we need enormous amounts of ore and factories to do that, so does the machine. It would need to be mindboggingly huge, also because it needs enough fuel to reach new sources. A tiny machine won't work, because it can't refine it's own materials. Really, the practical problems are being hugely underestimated.

Any browser will be affected by that JS issue. JavaScript VM code is largely identical across platforms. See this post by a member of the Chrome team [1].

Hardware accelerated rendering (accelerated layers) is in fact enabled by default on the Mac. Unfortunately, Mac OS X has no equivalent to Direct2D (that's enabled for production, that is). You can enable hardware accelerated layers on Linux via about:config; they work, but they're disabled by default due to frequent driver crashes. You do get something approximating Direct2D on Linux Firefox via XRender, if your graphics drivers support it.

Actually there seem to be a good number of jobs in Pittsburgh, but I know nothing about the natural environs that way.

In California, if you work in Silicon Valley you can always live down in the Santa Cruz mountains. If you work in SF you can live in Marin. It is often faster to go from Marin to SOMA than it is to go from the Sunset or Richmond to SOMA. I can't say it's a quick commute from the SC mountains to anywhere, but the option is there. I know Apple has a shuttle bus from Santa Cruz to Cupertino, maybe other firms do, too.

The difference is that this test is optional. I was just perusing the competition to see what it was all about. Who wants to spend all that time reading the instructions for a test I might not even bother to take? I clicked the link to download an input file, and then realized that doing so caused me to fail that question. Not a good experience. After encountering something else that was the slightest bit confusing, I just gave up on the whole thing.
Since you've tried 5 times why not take a little time to write a more compelling job offer?

The article is just about the qualification round.

The first post-qualification round was even worse (I was a competitor).

I won't go through all the details, but problems included mis-specified questions.

The second question - a 2 variable optimisation problem, set as a Starcraft game problem, in which shield generators cost X and warriors cost Y, and you had some rules about the cost/benefits of each - asked you to report the number of warriors to build, to maximise damage done.

Writing code to solve this, it quickly became clear that the sample answers provided were wrong.

Mid way through the competition, they changed the question to require you to output the number of shields to build - which, of course, made the sample output make sense.
While they put up a post mid competition saying they suspected a bug in the question, they did not subsequently make any communication that they had changed the question, or confirm the error. No text was added to the question page notifying competitors it had changed. No confirmation of the change was officially made, afterwards.
(You can verify this independent of my comment by reading the competition walls, or googling - the question was called 'power overwhelming').

Another issue - while they were technically correct - was where they said input to the first question would be whitespace separated, and give training examples showing it space separated, but then the test problems were Newline separated. While its debatable whether Newline is whitespace (I'd say it is, but it typically doesn't match \s) this change from the training examples to the test confused a lot of people - and its bad programming competition form, to trip people up in the input specification.

Finally, due to the slew of problems in the round, they closed the round early, without warning. This upset competitors who came to submit their solutions, to find that the round had already closed.

AFAIK, they still have not clarified whether competitors from that round that answered questions will progress, or will all have to redo it.

Communication - including on topics such as rules - has been sporadic, and either via e-mail, or through posts left on the wall - sometimes in comments on the competition wall, rather than in organised FAQs, or using the facebook notification system.

Answer upload has also been temperamental for certain browsers.

But posing a programming competition question to 1000s of competitors, where the actual question is mis-specified - that's a very big error.

Rescheduling the succeeding sub-rounds at the last minute also inconvenienced a lot of programmers who had taken time out of their schedules to do it.

Its a programming competition, and its just for fun - but I'd like to think they'd do a better job considering the volume of contestants, and the wide external audience.

Maestro: The Tablet That Runs Three Operating Systems
True. However I don't think the article really implies that P = NP (although the title certainly does). From what I can see the article only addresses the class of NP-complete problems. Factoring is not known or believed to be NP-complete so it wouldn't directly prove that factoring was in P. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit : For some reason I can't reply to posts so I'll do it here.

RiderOfGiraffes> It would will leave in question those problems in NP, but not NPC. Currently it is generally believed, but not known, that factoring is such a problem.

This is exactly my point. P = NPC doesn't imply anything about factorisation. Since factorisation is in NP we haven't shown that P = NP

kd0amg> NP-complete problems ... are, in essence, the hardest problems in class NP.

From what I understand they a 'thought to be' the toughest but this isn't proven. If this article turned out to be true then they are reduced to being as hard as P. So who is still standing as a contender for the hardest problem in NP? - factorization of course as it has never been demonstrated to be polynomially reducible to NPC.
LivingSocial has already said that they are only going to allow one GC purchase per credit card number.

So multiple purchases under one account, or multiple accounts are going to fail when they tabulate tomorrow.

Also, they are being issued as Amazon vouchers, not really GC, which allows only one voucher per Amazon account. If someone managed to get 100, they would need 100 Amazon accounts.

I don't understand how class size is being reduced with people going to computer labs with no teacher. Isn't the idea of class size that there is at least one teacher per N students? With these labs there are zero teachers per N students, which is effectively infinity students per teacher (0).

Should have taken time to think. You don't even need to read the OP to know what you said is nonsense.
Although it's illegal, some people who read resumes look at an asian or middle-eastern names on resumes and they toss it, just because they can't pronounce it. The reason for it is because they don't want to go through the hassle of determining whether they can communicate with you or not. They can just as easily go with someone with a western name and 99% of the time they will be able to communicate with them.

I've had one person approach me and ask why asians don't keep their names, even though they sound beautiful. Like the other comments say, fitting in to have better opportunities is far more important than having a pretty name.

It's like the saying, When in Rome, do as the Romans do. (twist: if you don't have a Roman name in Rome, you're probably a slave!)
I may be mistaken, and this might require an exhaustive search of the relevant literature, but I believe 3SAT is NP-Complete and therefore this one example does indeed lead to the stated conclusion.

He said generalize it (the algorithm) to other NP problems, which I took to mean 'turn every NP problem into 3-SAT and solve that'
The last time I looked into the empirical evidence on this in primary school, the finding was that class size makes a big difference if there are 13 or fewer students in a class because the teacher can use a style where he spends individual time with each student. But from 15 to 40 it flat lines because the teacher has to switch to lecture mode. So, unless you can reduce class size to 13, there's no benefit to doing it. And there really aren't any schools that are taking it that far. So they might as well ramp up to 40 students (above this discipline and control becomes a problem in K-12) and use the salary savings to buy textbooks or other materials, things that many school districts are now opting out of because their administrative, salary and other such costs are now so high.

Many countries that do better achievement wise than the US (assuming measured achievement results are valuable, which is debatable) have large classroom sizes in primary education. Japan's average is 40 students:

> The 1999 Pennsylvania State University study done by Suetling Pong concluded that the effect of class size on achievement is very small. It compared ten industrialized nations other than the U.S. and found that students in Australia, Flemish Belgium and France did significantly better in larger math classes. Class size had no effect on students in Canada, Germany, Iceland, South Korea and Singapore. And students in Japan, who consistently outscore U.S. students in math and science, frequently attend math classes of 40 or more students. source: http://www.edreform.com/Archive/?Debunking_the_Class_Size_My...
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon restricts your account to one of these gift certificates somehow. The deal description said "no gifting allowed."

Still, a separate e-mail address, credit card, and Amazon account would be an almost surefire way to get a multiple deals. But anything past 2 or 3 would get to the point of just wasting your time.
I think it's all nuts that people are arguing how best to implement a messy sales tax and not trying to work out how to cut expenses by $300 million per year. I bet any decent entrepreneur could find $300 million savings per year in the California state budget.

In Australia there was a big push by a coalition of major retailers to force international internet sales to be taxed at the National Goods and Services Tax, which is 10% - or to exempt them from sales taxes for items under $1000. This backfired as everyone laughed at them, pointing out most people purchased on the internet for savings of 50% or more, and then asked how they were going to track every shipment into the country and collect tax on it. As a double insult, the major retailers actually paid for a campaign to advertise that people can make big savings shopping at their online competitors. You couldn't make this stuff up.

The only law that I think should change in California with relation to sales tax is that it should be illegal to advertise a price without sales tax included - in other words, all advertised prices should be inclusive of sales tax. It's a nightmare trying to work out how much something is when you have to know the tax laws yourself.
1. Amazon is the top, major investor in LivingSocial ($175 Million)

2. LivingSocial has already said they are only allowing one GC purchase per credit card (so when they tabulate tomorrow, all this hackery will fail)

Its a great thing that they are starting to charge for their service, but I wish they would charge a certain amount per user with an option to pay for each additional service the team would need.

If a single NP-Complete problem is in P, then P=NP. This is what NP-Complete means. In particular, factoring would be in P. Conversely, factoring is not NP-complete, so if factoring were in P, we could not draw any conclusions about P=?NP.
The state needs to figure out how to cut back. They keep looking for ways to tax or lease or sale state owned properties and eventually run out and realize that they should cut spending.
But your bank account page would never reasonably have caching settings on it. We're talking about static assets specifically set to be cached - images, js, css.
The NP-complete problems are a subset of NP ("nondeterministic polynomial") problems, specifically those to which all NP problems are polynomial-time reducible. They are, in essence, the hardest problems in class NP. It's pretty trivial to show that integer factoring is in NP; what's not known is whether it's NP-complete. If any NP-complete problem is in P, then via polynomial-time reduction, all problems in NP are in P.
This is a slight divergence, but do people actually find Kuler useful (it's listed there which is why I'm reminded of it)?

> Whereabouts did/do you live?

I grew up in the East Coast; I'd venture a guess that you probably live on the West Coast. The Bay Area/LA/Vancouver, etc.

> As a further anecdote, as a westernized Asian, "sticking" with your own kind" is not always advisable.

I grew up in Connecticut first where I was the only Asian kid on the block and hanged out with white kids. Then I moved to Washington D.C where I went to an Asian-majority high school. So I could empathize on one hand, you feeling distrust from "Asian Asian," and on the other hand, my personal experience is that my closest friends are Asians who could relate to things that my Caucasian friends could not relate to.

> I have yet to face anywhere near the same type of racial/cultural hatred from any white, brown, or black person as I have from my fellow yellows, for being "too white".

Maybe the hatred is mutual? Maybe you dislike "Asian Asians" for being "too Asian". I have to be honest, don't take it personally, but I have a extreme distrust when I meet a particularly white-washed Asian. I have yet to face anywhere near the same type of racial/cultural hatred as I have from my fellow yellows, for being "too Asian." There's saying, in America, the 1st generation tries to keep their customs, 2nd generation tries to assimilate desperately, and the 3rd generation tries to seek their roots. I'm trying to span all three generations at once.
