I've been sending out resumes recently looking to move to a new position.

So far I've seen multiple companies outsource their application tracking systems. When it comes to submitting the resume the options available are either Doc Upload or Copy and paste text into a textfield.

I went to an interview and they had printed my resume from the text field. Formatting made the thing unreadable and unfortunately I don't own a printer* so I didn't have a nicely formatted copy with me.

I'm going to invest in a copy of MS Word. OpenOffice just doesn't cut it and exporting to Doc is unreliable, even reopening the same file in Oo.org. There are too many companies I'm interested in who don't take PDFs that it's becoming a problem.

Meanwhile I'm interviewing candidates for an open position at my current office and I love the people who submit PDFs.

* Didn't even remember getting rid of it. I must have thrown it out years ago. Hello paperless office.
If one follows the history of the relationship between Microsoft and SCO in all it's previous incarnations it's a tangle of licensing agreements going all the way back to DR-DOS. On the Unix side, it involves ATT providing Microsoft with a license which was then provided to SCO and then licensed back after their improvements - and one should not forget that the one-time powerhouse that was Novell was wrapped up in the mess along with IBM.

To characterize all of that as Microsoft trying to kill off Linux might be deemed a bit of oversimplification.
Something always bothers me when I see two é's on résumé. Yes, it's probably the correct way of saying it, but neither the English nor the French (not even the French!) use the word "résumé." There's a certain level of douchebaggery when I see two accented é's rather than the term "CV," which is used in France and most of Europe.
Yup. To be fair the intended payment model for the Clipper is to link it to a credit card and do autoload whenever your balance crosses below a threshold. Kind of silly in some ways but it works just fine after you get it set up.

Thanks for constructive & well-thought-out suggestions. I am just a programmer with a relatively short history working for the WMF but I'll try to raise your concerns.

I think these are interesting suggestions. You are right that the problem is actually relatively small and rests with a cadre of hyperzealous editors. However it is not clear to me that setting limits to editing behavior is really going to help -- those people will just resort to sockpuppets even more than normal. And limits to editing will also hurt a number of people who are doing a lot of good. Clay Shirky is more or less right that Wikipedia thrives on "cognitive surplus", so trying to limit the supply is just self-defeating.

What we need, IMO, is some different kind of structure where being a wiki-insider with OCD isn't the absolute advantage that it is today. I don't know what that would look like.

"Study economics. It isn't that difficult of a subject."

But, then saying such a condescending thing, you back that font of economic prowess with:

"We're in a depression in the US caused by a distortion of the market from government. Under clinton it was decreed that loaning money only to people who could repay it was racist"

That's not true at all. First off, way to blame the world financial crisis on poor people (because _that_ isn't playing class warfare at all /s). Secondly, If it were just a bunch of poor people defaulting on mortgages, we wouldn't have needed two "quantitative easings" via buying 2.1 Trillion in MBS, three bailouts, and a stimulus. It wasn't Clinton, or Fannie/Freddie, or even Barney Frank that forced banks to invest 30:1 in toxic securities, and if we had regulations put in place, 30:1 bets on the so-called "poor people's" mortgages wouldn't have been allowed.

Place the same blame on this bust that we had on the one during the 20s and then during the S&L bailout in the 80s: Pure Wall Street avarice. They can use the poor people, the government, "insurance" companies, tax shelters, the Fed, asset leverage, and finally the People's tax largesse to stoke their fire. In pure capitalism, everything burns.

Not that I'm aware of, but I have long since graduated from seeking such advice.

I think the best source of investment insight comes from studying Warren Buffett's methodology. Mary Buffett wrote a book called "Buffetology" which is really accessible and quite good. An author by the name of Timothy Vick has written several books on buffett. (How to pick stocks like warren buffet is a good one.) For awhile there I bought all the ones I could find, and it was probably the best $100 I spent.

Eventually I created a spreadsheet that I'd use to do my net-present value analysis. I'd take the stock's price, the historical growth, my estimated growth, and work back to figure out what my projected return would be in 5 years.

You know you've mastered investing when you're able to predict these returns pretty accurately, though it takes time to know if you were right or not. It is ok, there is no hurry, you can just put money aside and save it (though I'd hedge against inflation- I'd store it in gold or silver these days.)

Once understanding investment, economics came to play a huge role in my understanding of how things worked and where things are going.

The mises institute: http://mises.org is the best source of daily informative articles on economics. They were talking about the housing bust around 2000-2001. Mises himself predicted the great depression, the invasion of Austria (where he was from, and where his fellow economists laughed when he said that by the same time the next year the Nazis would have control) etc. I don't read it all the time, and just read articles that I find useful.

The Mises institute has a lot of books for free from Mises and Rothbard that you can download, and from many other economists.

But probably the best book on economics to read is "Economics in one lesson" by Henry Hazlitt. You can get it in PDF form here, I believe: http://www.hacer.org/pdf/Hazlitt00.pdf

Studying Buffet is investing 101, studying economics is investing 201.

I also read a lot of books like "The gorilla game" and "the wealthy barber" and stuff like that. They were less useful than the Buffett books, but they all had nuggets of good advice.

Eventually, I graduated to Options as a strategic investment. A $100 book that became my bible.

Please note also, I'm out of the markets right now. I think the outlook for the US is not good, capital controls are coming and that there's going to be a major, and very painful, rebalancing of the global economic structure.

Next time I buy stocks I expect they will be on an asian exchange.
That argument didn't make a lot of sense then either. The specific algorithms that Google had patented gave it a runaway lead in implementing the kind of index that we now recognise as a crucial element of relevance. Anyone with knowledge of the domain could see that this was a revolution.

Even odder is that there's no mention in the piece about the long-raging battle with Yahoo over the Overture ad-bidding IP, a huge achilles heel for Google at the time which somehow just melted away 10 days before the IPO (but 4 months after this article).

The sad fact in the U.S. is that it isn't the people with thoughtful consistent opinions on important issues that have real impact on the politicians that get sent to Washington to tackle current problems. It is instead the easily swayed fickle "undecideds" that determine the powers that be.

This state of affairs makes the tools in this article extremely disturbing in the context of government contractors.

This same question could be asked about any hosting company that hasn't been presented with such a request.

After seeing them on PBS around '98 The Motley Fool was to me at 19 what I'm sure Jim Cramer was to many folks around '05: a contrast to everything else at the time. I thought they were young, funny, and old-fashioned, which was appealing.

But the disjointed approach soured me on them. I feel like they wrote and spoke about value investing but then sold newsletters on timely hot picks.

So, in my mind they fell back in with everyone else contributing noise.

History: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1960437

Update...
Week 0: Agonized over computer purchase. Server? Laptop? Mac? Cheap?

Weeks 1 & 2: Traveled South America with the girl (15 flights, 12 days).

Week 3: Enjoyed my free time. Groceries, library trips, cooking, running, plotting.

…Enter Luck…

Week 4: Handed a lead from mentor. Suddenly I’m up at 1:30am drafting my first contract. Family loans me $12k.

Week 5: First wire arrives. So busy packing forget to celebrate. Storm sends a tree through my car. Hop on a flight to Central America.

Week 6: Crash course in project management. Technology stress. People arrive, time disappears. Cancel flight home. Business officially profitable; eat PB&J anyway.

Week 7: Hire 12th employee. Team exceeds expectations, client happy. Just packed bag for morning flight home. Project stable.

Favorite part is decisions about my team. Today I built a training station and allow 30 minutes a day to pursue certifications. On Monday I’ve got a lead for more work in the US; in a month the team will need it. Might visit NASA for fun Tuesday, who knows.

Reflections:
-Successful people like to help others start
-Bid high
-Humbling amount of work
-Reputation gets work
-More luck, less productivity than I imagined
Glad you're feeling better. Depression is tough.
So you're saying that the standard of living was worse or no better in 1900 than it was in 1800?

People talk about the "Robber Barrons" but this is really a pejorative. Standard oil, for instance was able to lower the cost of gasoline dramatically, I believe it was more than an order of magnitude. This paved the way to the car being a viable product for the middle class and eventually nearly everyone.
Qualcomm's recent apps processors are in-house designs by an ex-IBM team. I believe Nvidia's are, as well.
It's a valid point and we need to handle that better in the docs but the site actually matches jobs to your location / fields of interest that are in your profile so we actually (for the time being) need you to have an account in order to see what you match to.

As we grow, we do have plans of adding a browse feature but this needs to be handled carefully as it's where a lot of the junk/spam posts will creep in there. In the mean time, you have my word that we're not going to hit you with a bunch of SPAM and canceling your account only required entering the email address that you registered with and you're out.

Assuming you are telling the truth, you can't see a brilliant business even if its in your face--

Only people who do not actually have to make the choice find such decisions obvious. When Microsft invested in fb most people thought that it was dumb move. But they look smart now when GS is getting people to invest in them at 50B. Which now people think is a dumb move and so on.

Bottom-line, you may have turned down some version of theFacebook already but you would not know till 10 years from now...
Actually easier to obscure the true value of a startup than a mortgage, might be onto something there.

I'm a pessimist and spotted every recent bubble. What is a bubble? It's when value becomes detached from "objective" financial models. This may be the case for a few high-flying businesses right now (Twitter?), but not widely. The recent funds from Goldman and JP may push valuations for Facebook & Twitter beyond reason because they are chasing a few shares in private markets. But throwing a million $s at a few stupid startups isn't a bubble. That's the VC industry buying lottery tickets. I don't think there's a bubble. There's just a little excitement in social media and mobile apps.
I accidentally upvoted you. Sorry about taking away some of the pride.

Maybe this is a good place to ask about an idea I've been toying with, but I'm not sure about the security implications of.

I have an app that generates user content, little chunks of audio. I don't want to get into running some server infrastructure just to let users share their content on facebook/twitter/... so what about letting the app upload an html file to an s3 bucket, with the data embedded in the file and a bit of javascript for an audio player UI? Practical?
> Furthermore, my ISP changes my IP address very frequently (my guess would be about every 48 hours), and even if it was static, I would not have had the same IP for a very long time (moved frequently, etc).

Assuming the article is correct (and the video seems to back that up), I wouldn't even consider this protesting. Yelling over Clinton's speech, holding up signs, harassing people going to the speech, throwing shoes -- these are all protests. Quietly standing with your back to the speaker? Not a chance.
iuguy's Gandhi quote may be the best response, but I have something more verbose to say.

Popularity is powerful. Anything that matters is going to be dominated by popularity in some form. Politics, fast food, movies, etc, are all in the state they are due to winning popularity contests. The internet is just late to the party. The cool internet that agreed with your values just happened to be visible for the first few decades of its existence because you were the right demographic. However it was inevitable that sooner or later the public at large would get a whiff of how cool the net was, and pretty soon money comes into the equation, and it's all downhill.

But in reality the cool internet is bigger today than it ever was before, it's just obscured by all the spammy, sock-puppetry, pointless-celebrity-tweeting bullshit that you've come to expect. It's easy to fall into the trap that you need to compete with that, but you don't. Popularity is good for business, but it doesn't feed your soul. If you do really great work, the people who pay attention it will appreciate it immensely. There are bloggers who I believe contribute more to the world (at least my world) than Mark Zuckerberg or Evan Williams even though I use Facebook and Twitter every day.
The operators >> and << don't mean "send strings to output," they are stream operators that either put something into a stream (<<) or take something out of a stream (>>). They're actually a surprisingly intuitive notation because the arrows point in the direction of data movement (since the stream is always to the left). There aren't many other notations that can be as intuitive and bidirectional. The next obvious notation, -> and <-, are off limits because -> is already a legal operator on an object.

There are many valid criticisms of C++. I don't think not using enough keys on the keyboard is one of them.
"Some estimates suggest the state spends £26,000 annually on each homeless person in health, police and prison bills."

11 of the 13 got off the street, but how did they do it? Maybe a new TV was the motivation but did they get a job, their own home, and are they self sustaining? Or did they just move off the street into welfare housing, living off the state, which offsets the costs savings the article mentions...

So does giving the homeless small amounts of money perpetuate the problem since they don't save it? Would larger amounts be able to help them achieve some sort of first step?

There's only one law, and it is pretty specific:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
