I'm pretty sure they have lots of palaces. But think about a subject like "World History". How are you going to store that?

I also noticed a problem I have with using something like the Dominic System to store phone numbers, which is remembering the first image.. after that, this image just "pulls" the others by association.
Anyone can tell people to do what makes them happy or leave their dissatisfying job. These exhortations have become platitudes. If you want to help people find fulfillment, you need to move beyond the low hanging fruit of personal development advice. You need to do work. You need to talk to people and find out why they stay in their jobs. Then you need to address those concerns.

The exhortation to "do what makes you happy" has been around for a long time, yet there are still people in dissatisfying jobs. Is offering another formulation of the same message going to make a difference? If your audience doesn't respond to your message, you work on your message, you don't just repeat it with subtle variations.

If you want to see someone who is doing work in this field and saying something new, read http://www.unicornfree.com/ or http://www.paulgraham.com/. There is simply no comparison between the kind of practical, "actionable" advice Amy Hoy and Paul Graham are offering and the platitudes presented in this post.

Specifically, read http://www.paulgraham.com/love.html which almost exactly echoes what I just said (despite reading it only after making this post): "We've got it down to four words: 'Do what you love.' But it's not enough just to tell people that. Doing what you love is complicated."
very nice. open source? I've been wondering for a while now if there is a way to say: "Find all people from country X that live in City/Country X?" - would that be possible with the FB Graph?
Thanks Arnor :) As you say, nowadays we have less uses for our memory: that's why paper, pen and iPhones are for. I'm trying to use the memory palace technique to help my language learning (you know, like Icelandic ;), but it is also good to remember things like "hey I should do this by tomorrow" that appear when you are in the shower, or shaving. When you usually have no gadget around (waterproof iPhone, anyone?).

I usually carry many gadgets around (iPad, Ben Nanonote, iPod Touch, pen and paper are usually always with me) and as such, it is far easier to write down important stuff. But when I don't have them available, let's visit some standard palace and put the stuff there.

As for memory supermarket... If you always go to the same supermarket, you can use it as a palace, in the appropriate places you just put some kind of reminder, like a lemon avalanche or the big Bread Man.
Well, made a lot of mistakes. Discovered the lean startup principles too late. We should have released an MVP earlier and iterate. Instead we were never really happy with what we built and started from scratch too many times. We became really frustrated with not being able to execute up to our expectations. Waited too long and slid off our cash runway.

I will probably write a more thorough post about it later on, but right now we're trying to focus on finding a team to take over and save taketake.
Yes, the big fallacy about teacher compensation is to take compensation as consisting only of nominal salary, and not also of employer-funded (that is, taxpayer-funded) benefits and working conditions. Schoolteachers are well compensated in relation to barriers to entry to the occupation and in terms of performance standards imposed on the occupation. (I am a teacher in private practice. I have to convince my clients to pay out of pocket for my services after their children have already attended tax-subsidized classes at other hours of the day.)
Vimeo is a pretty good option.
Programming for children
My daughter who is in primary school has an assignment to write a program to calculate the dates of Easter for any given year. A programming language to use has not been specified. What language should I teach her to use? She's got three weeks.

As a bonus, it will be extremely cool if it is something which she can take into school on a USB stick and actually run a demo without having to install anything on the school machines. All her school machines are Windows machines.

Raising the social status of scientists is one of the most important things the U.S. can do to shake off our 30 year slump...

I think part of the problem is how we've deified the MBA/"executive" as a fundamentally higher class of being.

I am not knocking what such people do. Surely it can be very difficult, demanding, time consuming, etc. But it is not the only job that is such, and it is not the only job that is of such high value.

I would argue that many surgeons, doctors, engineers, etc. create far more value than many businessmen. (In many cases they make more too! It's a myth that "suits" make all the money. The distribution of incomes in business is highly asymptotic. Top executives make ungodly money, but the average "suit" does not.)

What the hell am I talking about?

Case in point:

It used to be called "first class." A few airlines still call it this, but I usually see it called "business class."

First class carries the connotation of prestige. Business class carries the connotation that business is prestige and everyone else sits in the back of the plane.

In working with MBA types, there has been a palpable sense that I am of lower status because I am a doer-- because I am doing the "details" (like making things work) and this is for "little people."

We have elevated athletes, politicians, and alpha front-men (and they are usually male) to the absolute pinnacle of status in our society. Meanwhile we have actually demoted everyone else.

I.e. multiplication tables or foreign basic words need to be in your L1 or L2, but the causes of the First World War (unless it is something you are deeply related to) can perfectly be outside it.

The problem is that a teacher's salary is weighted more towards the tail end of their career than most other professions.

In my high school, we had gym teachers who had been there for 30 years earning well over a $100K. And we had an ingenious (new) Math teacher earning $40K.

Over his career, the new Math teacher will probably earn reasonably well (especially when you take into account the extraordinarily generous pension and benefits, 3 months of vacation time a year, etc). But, the first 10 years (which is probably the time of his life that he's getting married, having young kids, trying to buy a house, etc) are going to be pretty tough.

Watch Rocky II, the one with Rocky fighting the almost-robotic Russian.

That movie explains a lot about the American myth-of-itself. (And it is rubbish, of course. During the cold war the USA was far more high-tech-- far closer to the robot-Russian-- than the Russians were.)

Sure, sure.

Run the proxy with

sudo -u nobody node rotating-proxy.js

It will start listening on your local machine. If you want to filter all output on your computer through this proxy, try an iptables redirect:

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 -m owner '!' --uid-owner nobody

If you want to do it on the router for a network of machines, the trick is to redirect all HTTP traffic through a dedicated box running the proxy. Pretend this machine is 10.0.2.15.

First, ensure that that machine's traffic gets through normally and isn't redirected to itself:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 10.0.2.15 -j ACCEPT

Then, redirect all HTTP traffic on your network (say, 10.0.2.0/24) through that machine:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 10.0.2.0/24 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination=10.0.2.15:8080

Finally, ensure that your packets get back to the source with a masquerade:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -d 10.0.2.15 --dport 8080 -j MASQUERADE

The article said that the project was "dominated" by people who are "male," among other things.

The logical error here is the point, not the specific characteristic of whatever group the author is concerned about. The point would be the same whether I had used her "male" example or her "affluent" example. She's making the same error in both cases.

Right, I think that almost all the problems state are int-to-something conversion (one was about putting a number into a double).

Used to be (old guy talking) 'int' meant 'register size' so on a 64-bit target it whould be 64 bits. Whereupon all the 'bugs' evaporate.

I think the "Jobs Factory" metaphor is a sign of how messed up the thinking involved is. There isn't a jobs factory, there's a marketplace; and the marketplace right now is very clearly saying that scientists just aren't that valuable, in the grand scheme of things.

If you really think this is something that needs fixing, the most direct and blunt fix would just to be to create a government subsidy for scientists. For example, instead of making them pay income tax, you might give scientists 100% matching pay from the government. That would mean that a company might hire a scientist at $80,000, but for the scientist it would be the equivalent of a normal $220,000 job. Put that lay into effect, and I guarantee you'll see a lot more scientists 20 years down the line.

http://www.democracynow.org/about/jobs Democracy Now is looking for a contract Ruby developer, if you're into that sort of thing.
First of all I'd question that source, it lists some elementary and high school teachers making $300,000+/year.

Secondly average salary is a lousy comparison point, because in many industries like accounting the starting is fairly low, but the ceiling is quite high. In teaching it's relatively flat, and you need an advanced to degree to advance at all.

A relatively senior accountant makes vastly more than a relatively senior teacher, and oftentimes for only 6 years of US schooling (4 year undergrad + 1-2 year certification). To break into the higher ranks of teacher salaries (or in some areas to get a job at all) you're required to do a 4 year undergrad + a teaching certificate + a masters, so you're talking about $40,000 for 7 seven years of schooling, with a ceiling somewhere around $90,000 even with a PHD.

It might be fair to argue that you should be doing it for the love anyway, but I know people that would want to teach but specifically didn't go into it because they planned to have families and were worried about the income.

It used to be called "first class." A few airlines still call it this, but I usually see it called "business class."

Most airlines offer three levels of service. First class, business class and coach/tourist class. However not all routs have enough demand for the highest level of service, so they simply don't offer first class seats on all flights. First class, on the flights that have it, is of a significantly higher standard than business class.

okay this must not be true but at first, it looks like you sent it to HN and other sites so people go online, sign up to browse around(greed for buy) and this will spread the concept, make it famous and then you might decide to keep it with you or give it to your wife or something.

How to make users scroll down your page
In split tests, long pages often beat shorter pages. But for a long page to be effective, the reader must be aware that it’s long. If the user doesn’t scroll—either because they don’t want to or because they aren’t aware that the page is long—then all of your hard work has gone to waste.

I disagree somewhat with the other posters about what you "deserve". You deserve about as much as you can negotiate. The more willing you are to lose the whole thing, the harder you can negotiate. That being said, if you go in to negotiate, don't go in with the fairness argument. Describe how you are excited about the company, appreciative of the offer and that you took the low equity because you were unproven, but now that you have proven yourself you would like more. Be prepared to sacrifice cash for equity or to walk.

The one thing I would say is this, if you don't ask you definitely wont get more. I don't think any of us can truly judge if it is a good deal because we dont have enough information.
