Personally I would go back to your client and stress that I would rather collaborate but that multiple attempts to contact them have failed, ask the client if they would be willing to act as an agent to foster collaboration. If the client agrees and gets rebuffed then you can go back to the client and have them kill the contract. This way the client sees that you acted in good faith to provide your client with the best possible scenario and that it was the other company that would not play ball. At which point the client will fully understand that you have to protect your interests and tried to uphold his interest in doing so.

Prove it to yourself first with a representative sampling of vinyl records and a blind waveform analysis.

> Destructive 'loudening' of music is not useful with vinyl music

That's true in theory. It's also true that destructive loudening of music is not useful with digital music, but they still do it. In reality, most vinyl masters are the same mastering plus an additional pass through a multi-band limiter. This is not a guess, by the way.
If you want to do this right, you do it the way Compaq did with the IBM PC BIOS. One group of engineers analyzes the code, and writes a english text specification. A 2nd group (100% disjoint) took that spec and then wrote a compatible BIOS.

This survived a legal challenge, but that was in the IP environment of the early '80s, so who knows what would fly now.

Also as far as the outer margins are concerned, the badge extends the right side of the icon, so having the right margin wider was reasonable.

"already have a conception of who Blacks and Hispanics "are" and it's not quite positive. They have a deficit initial position"

I agree. In a sense it's like a negative brand association. I would add that we could also discuss the positive association of blacks with sports or entertainment vs. some other minorities or even whites.

But Jewish and sports? No.

Jewish and Medicine? Yes.

I'm new to the startup game, and most of my hunches that Ive formed over the past 6+ months are proved true by this post. This is insanely good advice in this post, one of which involves modesty and confidence.

I'm never going to be modest from here on out and will act like a pompous douche when deemed necessary. I see people act this way ALL the time, and I figured people could see right through their bullshit. Apparently not, as it clearly does not matter if they are right - only if their bullshit is passable. Apparently being modest does not work to my advantage. I have no choice but to play the game.
Take My Data, You’ve Got a Business To Run
Uh, it's from March 2010 and has nothing to do with Jobs-mania
God is just. You'll earn what you are paid. I hear marriages between equals work best. I think one side or the other feels supirior and will dominate. I would guess your boss would treat you badly if you were overpaid, in his mind.

This reminds me of cheating in school or affirmative action getting into school -- do you really want to be in over your head? Think a step ahead. Cheating is a bad idea!
I recall reading someplace recently that it isn't about working only eight hours a day before rushing home, but rather about doing as much as you can in eight hours before devoting the remainder of your time to other pursuits you may find meaningful.

There are so many interesting things in the world; how can you shut yourself out to all of them but one?
Not only that, but I am printing this article out and saving it to remind myself of how it really is and not to fool myself into ever thinking otherwise.
I haven't found that to be the case at all. All the FLAC files I've purchased have proper FLAC tags, often including cover art. I've never had problems with FLAC seeking at all.

Better still, FLAC provides excellent command-line tools for encoding, decoding and tagging so I can script batch operations easily. I'm not aware of anything similar for ALAC. Maybe with the codec in the open these tools will emerge?
> 3.How do we workaround the fact that most people do not and will never have an interest in the technical workings of devices and asking them to research things and make an optimal choice of their own is too much to ask, should a company or central authority make that choice for them?

And malware creators with much more technical knowledge will try to mislead them about the choices.

Maybe say the central authority gets to make the choices on a day-to-day basis, but with a two month lead time, you can decide to switch to another authority for your device, and all apps that are happy with the new authority still work.

You would have to trust that the central authority doesn't sabotage your ability to switch with your existing data and apps intact, and this would be hard to verify in advance if DRM prevented you from seeing what code was running on the device.

Great post. I worked 30 hours of the last two days, slept 9 hours total, and spent the other 9 hours in deep relaxation (2 hours getting massage, 2 hours walking, 2 hours having relaxed nice meals, 3 hours hanging out with my friends who have a cute newborn baby).

It's been an awesome couple days. Being able to gear up and gear down on workload is one of the nicest things about running your own show.

This would be very difficult in biology. Any single experiment isn't evidence of much, and once I do get a notion that I am on to something, if I slap that up on the web, I'll probably get beaten to the punch by someone that has more resources and/or is better positioned. It would also be tough to argue that my early experiment was critical or even necessary to get there. So I would do a lot of work, and gift it to someone else. Of course, I know that this is the point, but it's problem enough that grants are basically over-hyped sales pitches. Good science is methodical and rigorous. Until funding is less results-based, you need to show big results. It's crazy to think that it's enough to fund promising evidence. Promising evidence is even more subjective. More hyperbole is not what we need.

We need to fund the process first. Then people, then results.

This is another beautiful piece by Alexander Chen, of mta.me (see the about page).
There is such a thing as user error. Don't be ridiculous.
A couple guys refused to place them unless they got a piece of the action! After she finished pitching, they decided they would go out and buy their own machines. All for 20 bucks a month. Dang cheapskates.

This one part of your comment baffles me. Exactly why should they share their business traffic rent-free with your daughter? Sure, she's young and presumably cute and it's just a gum machine, but it seems to me that she should be splitting the take with them or at least offering them a few bucks as a nominal rental payment. This is, after all, the situation that most business owners are in with regard to a commercial landlord. Sure, for such small sums it seems silly, but the marginal profit on most retail purchases is tiny. If the machines cost $160, the retailer sensibly sees that the capital expenditure is covered after 8 months.

I think you missed an opportunity here. If you had encouraged her to negotiate and hit on a business with more than one branch, the vending machines could be in multiple locations; if not, a quid pro quo still generates a lot of good will. My local corner store owner has a kid of 8 or 9; I suspect that his response to a proposal of this sort would be to buy his own kid his own vending machine, rather than hand 100% of the profits to your daughter. Maybe I'm missing some part of your story?

On a side note, I wish you would consider vending some other product besides gum, which isn't much good for kids' teeth. You wouldn't have bought her a cigarette vending machine if those were still popular, or at least so I assume. On a small scale, it's a classic example of externalizing the cost of the product you sell.
Have you ever tried going earlier? If you want to do eight hours, try out 4:30AM to 12:30PM sometime. It's hard to stick on it (you've got to be disciplined about going to bed early), but it's great for getting things done while it's still super quiet and peaceful out, and it's awesome having completed the workday at lunchtime.
Or maybe flog is using the IT convention of using lower case for numbers based on powers of ten and upper case for powers of two? If so, it's out of place.
You're letting other people determine your worth using their limited domain vocabulary and their suboptimal pattern matching abilities. A .NET programmer is a highly paid commodity, but a commodity all the same.

A high-tech value creator who thinks and talks in terms of profit drivers and cost sinks is not going to ever be a commodity.

Rather than striving to be the top of your class (e.g. Ruby devops guys, which is something HR can use a standardized pay scale for) you can strive to be unique in a one-person class that is more immediately profitable and scalable than a commodity programmer.
It's always been interesting to me that the pin-stripe texture made it into iOS and has survived almost 5 years. Apple removed all traces of pin-stripes from 10.5 after toning it down for 10.3 and almost completely removing it for 10.4 So by the time iOS6 is released pin-stripes will have existed in iOS longer than it did in OSX.

I think it varies depending on a lot of factors (current market, type of position, timeline, etc). My company works with 3 recruiters (NYC) and they all either take one month salary or thereabouts - so about 7 to 10%. I doubt many recruiters go below that rate, but I've heard of startups in NYC paying up to 50% fee.

You still miss the point, though. Patrick isn't saying that calling yourself a programmer is inaccurate or ignominious. He's saying that it's not going to have a desirable effect on the listener. He's saying you should talk about the value you create, rather than the effort you expend.

This can be helpful but I think the problem with this approach (and the countless others before it) is that no one will find it after couple days. People can't help if they can't find it. If you solve that problem, you got it made.
It's a local thing.
Maintenance takes a lot more time than the initial implementation. By using a language nobody else knows, you increase the cost for 90% of the project's lifetime to decrease the cost of the initial 10%.

It's selfish if the numbers are such that maintenance ends up costing more than you saved by using your favorite language for the initial implementation. That depends on a lot of things: your co-workers' experience, your coding style, documentation for the language/libraries used that your co-workers aren't familiar with, etc.

Hi Andrew thanks for your post but I have a few more questions:

1. Are there marketplaces using this method? Can you name a few please?

2. How are refunds managed? Would the payee have to go directly to the 3rd party that he has paid the money to? What would be the liabilities of the middleman for a chargeback?

Thanks

I'm currently only in school but I've never felt awkward doing so in public. It's not like you have to sit cross-legged or anything to meditate. Keeping a good posture can help with meditation but it's really an entirely mental thing. If I'm working in class I just stop working, sit back, and breath; I'm sure I just look like I'm relaxing. If I looked like I was meditating the fact that I would probably be pulling people's gaze might weigh on my mind a bit. For this reason keeping an inconspicuous posture is something I find helpful.

Spanish La Liga Barcelona vs Mallorca Kick off Time 29 Oct 2011
It is a sad truth and I think you hit a lot of nails on the head. First if you are not sure, do a contract to hire, while I think the recruiters are a waste of money a company can directly 1099 a contractor for a month or two to see if they are a good candidate. Secondly if you have a good technical person with people skills, then you have all that you need for technical interviews, HR should go to this person and find out exactly what are must have skills and nice to have skills, many people get weeded out by HR because HR follows the description like an instruction manual many times missing exceptional people who are just getting a start or that don't have one skill that they could pick up in a week. You are right though a good technical person can sit down have a chat with a candidate and tell if that person will be able to fulfill the role. They may not be able to identify the superstars but they will be able to weed out the incompetent. To find the superstars you have to gauge excitement, passion and interest they are more fluid characteristics and can be underemphasis due to stress of the interview, bad day, or a multitude of other reasons.

I think the big companies processes or fundamentally flawed and end up weeding out a lot of good people who lack the "trick" question trivia answers. I personally would not do well on many of the pure CS questions because it has been years since I truly studied all that stuff, and as you said, I just use the linked list implementation in the library. That being said, I have 3 exits, have built many large systems, can bang out anything you can think of in JavaScript, IOS, Android, or Java the reality is, if I am dealing with a known CS problem I am going to look it up in reference material anyways, trivia is really just a way to say look at us we are so smart, when the reality 90% of the time development is gluing things together in new and novel ways. Even the iPhone, it was gluing OSX onto a mobile platform and bringing in touch technology, sure there was some pure CS items but the majority was just like everything else, glue stuff together, build up libraries and make the code reusable. I think they loose a lot of diversity of thought when they filter it down to trivia master need only apply.
As far as marketing plans: I am working on that. So far it's off to an interesting start!, we have 645 registered users currently and launched ~2 and 1/2 days ago.

Sadly, I've never been a marketing guru but I am actively working on getting Swupa out there now as much as physically possible, I have a decent amount of funds (all out of pocket) and have & will continue to cater hardware wise to the sites growth much before it's actually needed. Trying to really do this right :)

You don't recognize the channels, but a lot of these are existing production companies. TV channels are just distributors, only the biggest ones commission content. Most just want to buy something aimed at a demographic in between two other shows they already have.

Funnily enough, one of my first posts on HN a few years ago was a pitch for a cooking show and related business plan for someone who was trying to get a second series off the ground. I just could not persuade him to build his audience on social media or treat online video as anything more than a shout-out to his regular viewers. He was absolutely set on broadcast TV at all costs and wanted high-end sponsorship from the food/lifestyle sector, while being completely unwilling to share profits/rights/ownership.

Too bad; he was great on screen, and he could be partnered with Google right now if he wasn't so obsessed with broadcast.
These aren't the channels any regular person is interested in watching. This is basically the list of video podcasts that are already on iTunes/TiVo/etc. These are popular:

And no amount of "free" is going to change that in the forseeable future.
Actually, it turns out to be only a 9% cut on top of a $39 fee for them on digital distribution; I thought it was more:

what?

your last: - 'you can strive to be unique in a one-person class that is more immediately profitable and scalable than a commodity programmer.' seriously?

if this guy wants to become an expert in the technologies he mentioned then why is that so wrong? if he enjoys programming and has the drive to get to the top then he should absolutely go for it. smart employers are going to appreciate and see value in someone that has spent thousands of hours coding.

I was hoping that this article would restrain itself to arguing for open, publicly-readable journals. Baby steps, folks. Gotta walk before you run and all that.

Mandating open journals is practical. Convincing the current community of, say, biologists to share their raw data is not. I don't think molecular biologists would literally poison each other rather than divulge their sequence data prior to its publication in a major journal, but they'd consider it. The system of funding and promotion is going to have to undergo a very big shift before this dream comes to life. (Although I suspect it will come to life, eventually.)
