If I may, only saw the LP

On each Job page, are you going to stick to your guns and stay the passionate site that is really about finding your dream job? How about having continuing Text Q&A under the video interview about the job? Or do you go and show graphs that share salary averages for the market?

Maybe some bait and adds on the end of it like additional content on how to sell yourself in that field. Tips/Strategies
Rankings and sharing also...

Let me know if that helps or how I can help
We should really be looking at energy usage then and not electricity. (Is heating with electricity even that common in the US?)
I completely agree, and that is why we will have a completely web based system so that I can hire contractors all over the U.S. and let my normally onsite employees work from home a day or two a week. Instead of me saying, "Work at home tomorrow", they will choose the day and I will OK it. Obtaining input from employees makes them feel valued and important. Besides, I trust that they will know when it's OK to work at home.

I also plan to ASK each person what a good reward would be (everybody is different), and make sure to thank them. I understand that it's their job, but it goes a long way to boosting everyone's morale and productivity by saying you appreciate them.

A friend's boss wanted to buy her a small token of appreciation for successfully completing a huge project, and my friend jokingly said she wanted a Hummer. The boss bought her one - a diecast collectible H2, and 6 years later my friend still says that was the best gift she's ever gotten :)

This "meta gaming" (game outside the real game) is a very very important and integral part of EVE. A very popular thing to do is play as a "spy" or do those or other kinds of scams. The biggest alliances in EVE were destroyed from within by such spies.

Actually CCP is doing incredible work in terms of game design allowing a lot of freedom of how you want to play the game and also game development considering you can have more than a thousand players (more or less...) actively fighting against each other.

In terms of trying new things and advancing games and sheer depth, EVE should be far more popular than WoW which was and still is nothing new, just a clever combination of existing things... but EVE can be too damn serious to play and has way less subscribers.
Although notifications are most likely copied from their own jailbreaking community, if I remember well, not particularly from Android.

But then again, a notification bar instead of a popup is not the most ground-breaking idea. It's a pity (and a bit silly) that they didn't implement that earlier, for sure.
No, because they are invalidated on the grounds of being common knowledge.

I think your conspiracy should falter if it's details are being told in high school. What kind of conspiracy would that be?

There's a great way to beat them. Apply for the job. If you don't get it, sue them saying they didn't hire you because of your sexuality. Use this email from the recuiter to show that they are clearly not an equal opertunities employer. Hopefully the recruiter will now no longer be employed (by anyone).

Or alternatively go into the job interview, and make lots of homophobic/sexist/racist jokes there (e.g. "Good to see you keep the fags out and the skirts in the typing pool! My kind of company!"). If they act a bit suprised/embarrassed, point out the recruiters email, and tell them that recruiter will attract that kind of applicant.
We are aware of this issue but it is difficult to solve because each mouse works differently. For instance, the apple touch mice cause scrolling many times faster than the average mouse on a Windows machine.

If we speed up the scrolling for the average mouse, then scrolling will be ridiculously (unusably) fast with the Apple Touch mouse.

We have to achieve a balance -we may not have achieved the best balance but that is quite tricky to do. Bloody technology!

Well, that's two different stories entirely, depending on whether those are degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Centigrade. Before I take my vacation there, I would like to know whether the ambient temperature is high enough to denature my proteins.
> I'd say no on both counts.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion I suppose, but I don't know any professional programmer who would even come close to agreeing with you.
I think it has more to do with culture than number of vehicles, the countries with high deaths are all in West-Europe. I would be able to predict that without even looking at the graphs, in Italy, Spain,.. they drive like a madman in big cities. For most of the other countries, the differences are really minor which imo are random or can be explained by traffic regulations or differences between the countries.

I think it's the same with programming, the size of your program doesn't matter but the culture does. If don't use any system to develop, test,.. and don't really care about good code you will have bugs. On the other hand, with a good system you will have less bugs.

If the argument of the blog post was true, then you would have more bugs if you use more libraries? Or the bigger the libraries you use the more bugs? Doesn't make any sense.

Oh certainly. But the free passes and ridiculous praise Apple gets on this site does get annoying and it does manage to annoy me. In fact my ill conception of Apple users comes mostly from people I see on sites like this and in other forms in the online community.

The Three Slide Rule
The danger is when skepticism becomes a positive force that has specific ideas it holds dear, like Man-made Climate Change being a myth or the fact that the world is entirely material. Then it ceases to be skepticism and becomes just another ideology trying to protect itself against the others.
HTML, CSS and the DOM can for sure be improved, but personally I miss their flexibility when I need to develop with most native frameworks. I never tried native Android or iOS yet, but if they force you to create all the UI elements procedurally instead of descriptively, like most native frameworks I know, I guess I wouldn't like them very much too.

Future of Mobile Conference 2011
In reality, reasonable companies and people can come to an agreement regardless of what the template language in the employment contract states. I had a network engineer write some clever code that allowed us to write our firewall filtering in either OpenBSD PF or Cisco ASA format, and convert it back and forth seamlessly. It had absolutely nothing to do with what our company did, and he wanted to publish his work publicly so I simply asked our CTO if we could Open Source it - he had no problem with it as long as it didn't mention our company name anywhere.

In general, reasonable people usually come to an agreement despite employment contract language, and if people aren't reasonable, no contract language will make it a good place to work.
This is pure speculation, based on an analogy that makes little sense, and, AFAIK, it is factually wrong.

Studies have shown that, all else being equal, there's a linear relation between code size and bug count. I can't find the source right now, though.

Everybody seems to love dismissing ClimateGate, rather than at least becoming a little suspicious.
We create a lot of mobile apps; we offer our client the choice, always, and they always pick cross platform. From a client point of view, they don't see this as a subpar experience; they have their app delivered rapidly, it looks great (as the designer just delivered PSDs or PNGs which look EXACTLY like the client wants), we cut it pixel perfect to something crossplatform (depends if it's a game or normal app or combination what tech we use for that) and in the end the client receives what they saw in those first screens they had made on their mobile. Generally looking better than 99% of the native apps out there; the top 100 of iOS apps sure look good (well... not even all of them...), but below that it rapidly degrades. So unless you are doing something cutting edge, I cannot agree with your statement here.

Having said that, we do native apps as well; on iOS the experience is better, but you'll be paying a bit more to get it to that point. While on Android, it is just very very hard to get something as nice looking as we can do it in HTML5. It can be done, but personally I don't think it's worth it. For our development process we use 'business value' as a key indicator of deliverability and the difference between the PhoneGap apps and and native apps on Android do not deliver enough (actually any) business value to warrant the higher price tag.

Define "directly relevant". Sometimes that is the extent of the clause.

Jury: well its computer software, and your business states right there in the business code classification that your company is a software company, so we say its owned by the business.

So, no, if I invent a new elephant feeder, it'll be pretty clear its not directly relevant to my employer. But since I spend all of my spare time coding, I'd need "directly relevant" spelled out pretty thoroughly.

Being a Support System for Someone with Depression
As far as I remember, there was an official investigation into this, which found no misconduct. The quotes are out of context and rather ridiculous ("I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.") - uh oh, they used a "trick"!!! They must be cheaters. The trick could actually just be some clever idea, which is what scientists tend to come up with to make progress, but people hear what they want to hear.

Becoming a little suspicious is exactly what the skeptics want you to become, hence the attempts to blow those emails out of proportion.

It might also be worth noting that attacking the science based on those emails is not actually scientific criticism, it is merely ad hominem. If you wanted, you could perhaps draw some conclusions from the skeptics resorting to such attacks, rather than science. But lets not go there...

Edit: for completeness sake, here is a random result from Google about the investigation: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/24/climategate-investi...

Lithium Technologies: How Funding Supercharges A Business - with Kirk Yokomizo
The hypothesis testing approach to statistical inference, which is what most of the scientific community uses, explicitly demands researchers try to prove that, say, AGW has no major impact, before reporting on their failure to do so.

The hypothesis of a major impact is suggested because negligible impact cannot be, in the face of data. The popular Neyman-Pearson test doesn't even account for failing to detect an effect - it concerns itself strictly with not seeing ghosts.
You say it's easy. I don't think so, for several reasons:

- If you collect raw data, everyone in the group knows. You can claim instrument failure, of course, but then you'd have everyone around trying to help.

- From the raw data alone it's hard to say what to dismiss. So you'd have to do the long-term analysis first and then decide what to ditch - harder then because your data will be on backup, and you will probably have talked about things with people - because it's a group.

- You're most probably not the only person using this data. As I said, there are students doing some work for you, other scientists in your group using your data.. and everyone would be happy to find something new.

- Additionally, I cannot think of a single professor who wouldn't love to find that global warming is not true.. but I could have misjudged here, of course.

demallien has already pointed out what we know and what we think, so I won't go into this.

As for Facebook's revenue-per-user based on revenue-per-employee and number of users, you'll need the number of employees (not just engineers). That's about 2000, which works out to $4 per user. This is exactly inline with what was documented in this nifty chart: http://wallstcheatsheet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/chart...

Amazon is kicking ass. Apple only makes $150 revenue per iOS user (Asymco).
In science, a majority means very little. There have been many cases throughout history where one person was right and everyone else was wrong. The majority of people in China believe that eating shark fins prevents cancer - it does not mean they are right.

However, when the position taken up by one side is "There is no room for skepticism about what my model predicts will happen in the future!" and the position taken up by the other side is "There is some room for skepticism about what that model says will happen in the future" then the no-skepticism side has already lost.

But the position of the other side here is not that there is room for skepticism, it's that industry should not be disrupted for any reason, and that any amount of money necessary should be thrown at funding research that is guaranteed to cast doubt on the idea of global warming. Maybe that's not your position, but it's sure as hell the position of the sources of most of the money that's spent doing "skeptical climate research" and lobbying against emissions reductions (which, btw, are in all likelihood an extremely good idea even if AGW is not true, based on all the arguments that environmentalists used to focus on before debate was shifted exclusively to AGW, which IMO is rather the red herring here...).

I'd have a lot more sympathy for these guys if they weren't largely allied (and I'm using "allied" rather loosely, half the time it's actually the same groups) with the fucktards that spend millions every year funding "research" aimed at convincing the public that evolution is a myth. When you throw in with morons, you lose credibility, and the anti-AGW crowd correlates too damn close for comfort with the anti-evolution crowd, so I just don't care what they have to say, or what their researchers have done.

And I'll admit: that's despite the fact that I actually have some real scientific concerns about the degree to which AGW has been proven, and I'm not 100% convinced (though I'm absolutely convinced that just about any of the measures that people suggest to fight global warming are more than justified on other grounds). If it wasn't for the bad rep of the primary forces behind the anti-AGW PR campaigns, I'd probably be far more skeptical here, but the fact is, I've seen these guys play really dirty in a field that I know very well (evolution), and that leaves a terrible taste. They're so seriously wrong on evolution, and I see exactly the same psychological tactics used against AGW (how often have you heard complaints about little more than the scientific establishment "suppressing the truth" re: global warming?), so I take it as a pretty strong Bayesian signal that unless I know a lot about the field, I'm probably best off betting against these dudes by default.
And, unless I'm mistaken, a revenue hovering around $0.

That's the hacker spirit.
A little bit disappointed about the down votes, I'd hope we as an industry take numbers not so lightly and find "Is it 2x, 3x, 4x? One of those." no longer comfy.

I'd also hope we strive more towards "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" and more science than folklore.

Love it. However, I think that this does not apply to every situation. It's fine for presentations at conferences, or presentations designed to convince an audience of a certain view or standpoint.

But if you've been asked to research a set of options for viability, for example, things are different. You'll need bullet-points with highlights, tables with totals, and conclusions that summarize the main differences. Such things are very well presented with slides. I believe that this is the kind of stuff Powerpoint was originally invented for.

Similar stuff if I'm going to explain Coffeescript to a room full of C# programmers; I want examples, on slides.

There's probably more examples like these. The moment you want the audience to make up their own mind (which option do I prefer? do I want to use Coffeescript?), you need to present facts, not just a story. I strongly doubt just telling people how cool Coffeescript's => operator is will get the point across very well.

If my audience wants hard facts, I'm going to put it on slides, whether or not my CEO has a 3 slide rule.

Tichy (won't let me reply directly, think its nested too deep) - "Do you have evidence that any climate researchers ignored the cycles of the ice ages?"

Yes, actually. If you look at 99 percent of studies, they are based on temperatures from maybe 1500 (at the earliest) to present. In geological time, this is the blink of an eye.

Here is a relevant quote from Tim Patterson, paleoclimatologist and Professor of Geology at Carleton University in Canada:

"There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years. On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?"
