Harsher than it probably should be but it's hard to dispute his points. The only unfair criticism that I see is the GigaOm thing (I don't disagree with his point but GigaOm's basically a Freemium business model with the consulting acting as the top tier plan).

But the truth is the standards are low because the stakes are also pretty low. When we talk about startups that TechCrunch and others cover we're generally talking about consumer products. Cool things you can do with photos or a niffty new Twitter client.

This isn't War or Famine. No one in the Valley can launch a nuclear bomb. So if a writer has the talent it has become common place to over look indiscretions and honestly I'm not sure I have a problem with that.
But Apple produces 10 pixel-perfect prototypes for each feature. They compete — and are winnowed down to three, then one, resulting in a highly evolved winner. Because Apple knows the more you compete inside, the less you'll have to compete outside.

Miyamoto does it that way too. Whole ton of people making levels, with Miyamoto reviewing, guiding, and if need be killing.

It is well known that luck plays a major role in all the big competitions in Texas Hold'em. In a field of a thousand players, the best players usually have no more than a .2% or a .3% chance of winning at the very best. (Thus the best players win 2 or 3 times more often than the average players).

For heads-up play (a match between two players), the winrate of a winning player versus a substantially worse player is can be anywhere from 4 big blinds/100 hands to 20 big blinds/100 hands. The standard deviation is more like 140 big blinds/100 hands. This means that you have to play quite a while to have an almost zero chance of winning, even against a substantially worse player. Most professional poker players even have an occasional losing month (let's say one a year an average).

I'm not one for spreading peoples' personal information, but I'm tempted to repost this on pastebin or any other GeoCities equivalent to make a point.

I can do the same thing with Facebook. The lack of email verification has nothing to do with the publicness or lewdness of his email. I've had people create Facebook accounts with my email address too. I just log in and deactivate the accounts.

This guy's "attacker" could have just as easily used a fake email address and done the exact same thing. Even with email verification. Email verification != identity confirmation.

It's actually sad how easy it would be to quickly create a fake Google+ profile, Facebook profile and Twitter account to emulate this person and post equally insidious threats. Is the only difference here that this person didn't have a previous OkCupid! profile to prevent this name-grabbing? Or what?
Endorsement is perhaps a bit strong, certainly good free publicity though.
Same thing happened to me, my employer terminated my contract although he stated that the quality of my work was excellent. The official reason was that I forgot to add an item to the Outlook agenda. Pure BS.

At first, I was angry, confused, wanting revenge. Maybe if I'd tell the BoD about what happened, they could help me. Then I realized that this would not get me anywhere. Yes, life is unfair sometimes, but I'm absolutely certain that everybody gets what he deserves in life. The A-holes will get their share.

Then, it suddenly dawned on me. Terminating my contract is not just another problem, it's a huge opportunity. The Dalai Lama once said 'Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck'. I've been working on my startup for a little over a year now, always working on it besides my full time job and family life. With the severance pay from my job I will be able to work on it full-time! Sure, money is going to be a bit tight for a while, but we'll find a way to make it work.

As far as your question goes: it's not your task to convince them they hired a lemon. It's the task of the organization to constantly evaluate their employees, including your boss.

gamers might benefit from doing some reading.

You have to play sc2 or similar games for years before that kind of advice becomes applicable (since there is so much basic skill to pick up before the game becomes that strategic), and by the time you know the game well enough to find the correct analogy to something written in The Art of War you've probably already discovered it yourself.

In short, I think there are very few if any sc2 players that would benefit (in terms of improving their game at least) from reading The Art of War.

This happened to my mom a few weeks ago. When you receive a message on OkCupid, it shows the message in the email and it also includes a link to your profile. My mom forwarded the message to some of her close contacts and later found out they all had full access to her profile. Very embarrassing.
I guess there wouldn't be any incentive for weaker players to bet if they were guaranteed to lose money every game! I find that issue with chess... I'm better than my friends (who have only played a handful of times) but get smoked online or by serious players.

The user chose to be at this site, chose to pick an item to purchase and then chose to go into payment processing. The idea that suddenly an extra drop-down is going to outrage someone into questioning their entire choice-path is hugely unlikely, and infact the example here is a site that knows it's demographic won't be scared off by what seems at first glance to be a fairly ambiguous user input. If say Amazon tried this I would suggest their A/Bs would have this style of form failing for most demographics.
> Similarly to reading books, a good film gives you the essentials of the plot, characters, and the visual scene only and leaves the rest to your imagination.

Vonnegut would disagree that books need to be as spare as you imagine. As would Tolkien and William S. Burroughs. You have a rather narrow view of the art to leave out those authors.

Somewhere in the late '90's, a 13 year old dutch boy made a website for a school assignment. The website was nothing more than a chart comparing rates of cellphone operators. His parents thought it would be a good learning experience, so they signed the contracts for hosting et al for him.

A couple of years down the road Ben Woldring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Woldring) is one of the youngest self-made millionaires in the country.

So, get your parents to sign up for hosting, adsense, appstore, etc. and code away. By the time you're old enough to legally sign your own contracts you'll know so much of doing business (whether your business thrived or failed) your experience will prove to be a big asset.

we'd just bar morons from voting.

They tried that in Thailand. Replace Morons with Rural citizens and they tried to do exactly that.

This lead not only to a total political gridlock for years, but to actual death and mayhem.

You can't have a semi democracy where the elite decides, who's eligible to vote. It's either all or nothing.
This is pretty much exactly the kind of problem that one might expect with WebGL. Since driver writers traditionally didn't think much about security implications, this may be a simple case of somebody "forgetting" (possibly motivated by performance considerations) to zero out texture contents. The people responsible for that code should fix it and then we can all move on.
Just for the record, I'm not the guy in that article; just found it ;)
"That’s my real address. Unlike my previous address, which I posted publicly as part of my Halloween party invitation, this one was not public."

So lets summarize:

1) This guy does not want his real address to be known.
2) A small number of people learned it through OkCupid but most likely ignored it.
3) As a result the person in question posts his own address publicly on his blog and gives OkCupid the fault that the address is public now.

Am I the only one to whom such a behavior appears incredibly stupid?

And by the way: Just do a whois on the domain name of the blog and you'll also get to the same address.

Were you laid off, or were you terminated with cause? If you were just laid off, then the number one thing I would do is ensure that your performance reviews are all good and that nothing has been changed, or that he didn't add something improper to your reviews.

Contact HR and ask for a copy of your performance reviews, and then leave it at that. If you can leave with severance, collect unemployment, and have a good performance review, I guess that's about all you can do.

If you are being terminated with cause, then in many states, including CA, they need to have given you warnings about your performance, otherwise they can't terminate you with cause. You can probably approach HR about this, and if they don't give you severance, you could probably approach a lawyer.

Bottom line though, as someone else said, he lost and you won. It sucks, but there's nothing you can do about it. It's a hard lesson but probably something you'll learn in the future, which is don't bicker with your boss. Have professional discussions, but if you find yourself constantly disagreeing with him, you need to have more common sense about it and find yourself a new position, either in a different group or a different company.
I have been a 3D developer for business applications for over 5 years on various platforms and this problem crops up often. Most often it is the developer's fault so in this case the WebGL implementations. But surprisingly often it is a library or driver implementation issue that you need to work around.

I am glad I am not responsible for the implementations, working with all the vendors must be a mammoth and frustrating task.
It was a special, but one that they offer regularly, in the sense that every so often they offer say 1,000 of them until the offer is filled up. Then it is closed off until the next round.

That bug is not uncommon on OS X, it happens with a few of the drivers. (mostly seen on the nVidia 8xxx and 9xxx series?) And it is not that they are not cleared, it more often than not is things that should actually be in memory

But for some unknown reason, the driver maps memory the wrong way and poof you get the wrong texture, sometimes they are garbled sometimes not and sometimes hilarious results (was referred to as the 'Avril Lavigne issue' in the EVE community for a while.)

I would say it is an issue, but it is not a very serious one by current WebGL standards, there is not any controlled way of getting random textures of your bank account etc, there are probably worse issues with 3D graphics drivers than this.
Feynman only taught physics. Sal Khan teaches maths, astrophysics, economics, history, etc etc...

The potential for misinformation from someone who is teaching a subject that they are not an expert in, and have just "understood it quickly" is quite worrying. he has been criticised on this before, see http://www.nas.org/polArticles.cfm?Doc_Id=2029

Economics is a lot like maths, and there is crossover so it's no surprise that he is good at both. But History is a different kind of subject.

If he is really irreplaceable, then there are severe limits on it. I hope and expect that even if Sal Khan is a trailblazer, others can do follow his example.

I used to work for Amazon - and while I was there, my team was 10:6 immigrant vs. native-born. Less if you consider only third-generation and beyond as "native-born".

And let me put it this way, while we were hiring, the number of qualified candidates we saw was mostly foreign. In fact, the last 3 hires we made before I left was all foreign - not out of preference, but because that's where the supply sits.

I'm personally Chinese-Canadian, and something my folks said to me when I was younger has really stuck with me through the years: people who have suffered work harder. Much, much harder - not 20% harder, more like 1000% harder. Hard work pays off.
Make hay while the sun shines. In this economy, you need to earn as much as you can and save up all your money and don't turn down any job offers.

If you want to go to school, go part-time. If you have a sustained career without a college degree in your 30s, chances are you won't need it.
Effectively you are asking "how can I get the person who fired me in trouble?"

I did get more the impression that he was worried about the problematic boss causing more unnecessary trouble at the company. He seemed to wish his ex-employer the best and was trying to find a way to raise the issue with them that he thinks he was unfairly laid off by this individual boss.
It's not a matter of outrage, it's a matter of momentum.

Every pause in the purchase process slows down the cognitive momentum of the user, which is why adding, say, forced registration before a checkout is a bad idea.

Admittedly, having to select your credit card from a drop-down is only a small speed bump, but why introduce it at all when there's no benefit and a very real downside?

A few thoughts:

* It seems likely that there exists an ARM IC that would suit your purposes, you'd just need to commission a PCB and if you'd planning on having 10s of thousands of them, then that would be no great cost.

* Having more memory will increase the board area and cost significantly.

* You might be better off PXE booting and using a SAN rather than having local disks.

* If you wanted to test the waters, you could try stuffing dozens of raspberry pis into a 4U case with a switch and co-locating. If this took off, you could develop your own custom hardware.

The financial system appears to be an instrument of theft.

> And in the late 1800s, America created a universal public education system.

Nitpick, but widespread public schooling in the U.S. dates back more to the early 1800s; Horace Mann (1796-1859) is one of the education reformers often associated with it. It's true that they became more formalized into school districts in the late 19th century; before then, the "common schools" had been somewhat more ad-hoc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_school).
