RG Labs is hiring: http://www.rglabsinc.com/#jobs

We operate under the premise that the most important decisions we make are decisions about people (e.g., who to start a company with, who to hire, who to date/marry...) We also feel like the Web is in its infancy in terms of helping us to make better decisions based on data and that this space will explode in coming years.

We're planning to help detonate that explosion. :)

A few things about us:

- We have a long backlog of customers waiting to use our product when it launches and a big market in front of us.

- We're building an engineering-centric organization and working out of a cool work/live space in the Mission.

- We offer outstanding benefits, treat engineers and designers like the VIPs they are and value balance while at the same time working hard and passionately towards our goals.

- Our current stack includes Ruby, Rails, MySQL, Resque, and elasticsearch and we'll be diving in soon on Hadoop, graph databases/neo4j and a whole host of other fun stuff.

- We're also planning to contribute to open source as much as we can (e.g., https://github.com/rglabs/teleport).

- We're funded but also early in our lifecycle so it's a unique opportunity to be a major contributor and help to set the tone for the future for our company.

To hear more drop me a line directly at jon@rglabsinc.com or contact us via our website (http://www.rglabsinc.com). We'd love to tell you more.

Looking for a Perl developer for a senior position on our platform API team. It's a great opportunity and a great time to join our engineering team. If you have the mad skills (that's what the kids say, right?), get in touch with me, cmasto at mediamath.com. I won't waste your time.
It's good to see that Stripe is as easy to use as they make it out to be.

I recently discovered that accepting credit card payments is a massive problem that I'll soon face, and soon after that, Stripe appeared and promised to solve all of my problems. It seems like the perfect solution to the problem. (Now I'm waiting for it to start working in Australia...)
I'd recommend sending me a message before someone considers taking this on.

Over the course of the three days, the customer made endless racial and ethnic slurs directed at B.

Customer is a 'government owned military installation'. What branch? What site?

Was the customer military or civilian contractor?

The military is [1] _death_ on racisim, sexism, favoritism. Just does not happen. When it does it gets squashed.

While the military one thing, the individual service members are another. It's a very masculine culture, not unheard of for best friends to insult each other with words, phrases, etc that would sound blisteringly insulting to an outsider. But which are understood by the participants to be 'funnin' around'.

I conjecture: could 'B' have been hooked up with a guy who was trying to bond and it mis-fired?

[1] My last direct experience was 1993, when I separated. I have several friends who are enlisted, my step-son has been in the army since 1999.

I switched to Stripe for https://www.remindlyo.com a few days before launch and it's been working well so far. The integration was super easy and basically involved copy and pasting some javascript from their site into my payment form and adding a gem.

I agree with you completely. I'm just being pissy and saying "I wish things were different" and I really don't have a productive solution to the problem... My wish is that programmers would take pride in the title and call themselves programmers who were able to accomplish X and Y for company Z and not the other way around where they hide the programmer bit.
Intents is probably one of my single favorite under the hood features of Android as a user. Installing an app and having it instantly be able to exchange data with any other app on the system in a smart way makes the process so simple you don't really even have to think about it. It's one of the parts of Android I'd have a hard time living without.
I loved playing Mindmaze, the trivia game inside Encarta '95, and was upset that I couldn't find a similar game anywhere online. Distraught and a little nostalgic, I recreated it as WikiMaze in HTML5. I've tried to keep the game true to its classic form with a slightly updated take on the graphics and gameplay.

I thought this was going to be about how a small postcard startup poked Apple, which decided to make its own Cards.app

That said, I have a DSLR and thus have way more sendable pictures on my computer than I do on my phone. Also, writing a postcard is something I want to sit and be deliberate about, not just impulsively do on the phone. Hopefully postme.me finds its niche there (the cheaper price is nice too)

Also, I'm certified on PHP5 by Zend.
Anyone can step in and do what they want with the "movement". I don't think RMS has a monopoly on speaking about free software and would probably welcome anyone who wanted to be an activist. But even if he didn't, it matters little. If you can do a better job then step in and do it.
I guess I lied in part... I'm a Systems Engineer with a Software specialization. My work is about the integration of software components into a much larger architecture of devices... in my case I keep the internet backbone alive for my province that includes alarm monitoring, fault detection/correction and upkeep to systems for prevention. AI, formal methods and other broad categories are extremely relevant in my industry and I personally believe only a fool would discredit this as an Engineer's job.

What do you like about antitrust laws? Without government intervention there are no monopolies. How did breaking up standard oil help anyone? They ended whaling, drove the price of kerosene from 100$ to 2$ -- how was this bad for the consumer?

How did all the microsoft antitrust stuff help us? How is hassling google helping us?

I think we're in agreement with respect to the law, the point of the parent post was that instead of hair-brained schemes to increase the number of startups we should reduce useless laws and regulations so that they can thrive.

It's a fair point. You can move domains. Mint isn't an example of that though. Patzer bought mymint.com but didn't launch with it. He got mint.com before any press/traction.

So, how much is given back to the original creator of the photo, which postme.me is using to generate profit?
I had the same thought when reading about "deserve to be heard": does not scale. But the author probably means that if you are going to pay attention to ("waste time with") that person, its their ideas that you should be caring.

What makes it any more reasonable to suggest that it's possible to change the incentives than to suggest we can find uncorruptible politicians?

I don't think that this systemic view aligns with the campaign-finance-reform argument argument at all; the people who want money out of politics regard money itself as the root cause of the problem, but neglects to address the real underlying incentives that money - merely an abstraction of value - actually represents. If you take money out of the picture, those incentives will still exist, and still convey political advantage. Who dominates politics then, if not the wealthiest? The most well-connected? The most ruthless?

The real, underlying systemic problem is the centralized concentration of de jure power in a small set of political institutions. This will always be susceptible to concentrated influence, whether via money or otherwise.

If you were to take away power from the government, who would be left to defend the interests of the powerless? While it's true that government usually turns out to be an instrument used by the powerful to control the powerless, it is undeniable that the rule of law has occasionally functioned well enough to protect a minority from a majority. It offers a framework with at least the possibility of protecting the powerless. Take away that framework, and the faction with the biggest guns will win. People forget that even in the US, in the early 20th century large corporations used lethal force wielded by their own private mercenaries to keep an oppressed worker population under control. If government had no power, these gatekeepers could do whatever they wanted without the hassle of approval and public debate.
> I'd also point out that CouchDB's biggest feature, the must-have feature no other NoSQL repo besides RavenDB replicates, is the master-master replication. If you don't need that, your barrier to entry with the other NoSQL solutions is much easier/straight forward.

The other unique feature is incremental MapReduce. If you need to transform your mostly unchanging data in a way more complex than a mere attribute index, the ability for CouchDB to reuse parts of the last MapReduce operation is very convenient.

Of course, if you want to do any transormations beyond one set of map and reduce operations, you're on your own. I think only [Twister][1] does iterative MapReduce at the moment, although I'm not sure if it is incremental or not.

It is hard for those of us who know how to tinker to appreciate that there really are folks who don't tinker.

You assign them to pull the levers, and they pull the levers. If the machine they're running is manifestly inefficient, they don't notice, or they pretend not to notice.

(Or – if they're good – they adapt themselves, adopting a complex series of difficult physical and mental moves to compensate for the machine's brokenness. Sometimes those physical moves are such that, after four years on the job, they'll be in the hospital. But they do them anyway, because, hey, making the inefficient machine work is their job.)

If the machine next to theirs is broken in a way such that it messes up half of the work coming out of their machine, they just keep going -- hey, it's their job to run this machine, not that machine. If the machine they're running breaks down, they call for help and then sit there unmoving until help arrives. ("I didn't want to break anything.")

You tell them to RTFM, and they do, all of it, and then they come back to you: "I read the whole manual; now what do you want me to do?"

They may have even memorized the manual. It's not that these people aren't smart and eager to please. Indeed – and this is the thing I have trouble getting my head around – sometimes, within their area of expertise, they may know how to tinker like mad, they know the freaking serial numbers of every part of their machine and which ones can substitute for each other in an emergency. And yet, beyond their area, there's this strange paralysis. You hand them the duct tape and gesture encouragingly at a neighboring machine and... nothing happens.

If you give such a person a room full of miscellaneous broken things and ask them to fix everything they will proceed at a rate of (1 + epsilon) hour of progress per hour you spend telling them what to do. On the flip side, if you give them a room full of ten thousand widgets to finagle and they have a certification in Widget Finagling, those widgets will get finagled. They might even work overtime to please you. And when the widgets are done they'll go home, even if the rest of the factory is on fire, because there's nothing left for them to do.

When hiring someone to solve our problems we desperately need to know whether or not we're getting a hacker, or a technician. Both have their roles, but they can't substitute for each other.

It's GC pauses. WebGL demos very often run into large GC pauses, unfortunately.

Very cool, I like the timed release of further article context.

And the maze part is surprisingly fun given that it is basically pointless / orthogonal to the rest of the game.
I've also been using them for years, managing 20+ servers across nearly all of their datacenters and the service has been fantastic, their support is exceptional.

I understand that its usually the payment service provider that charges for refunds, but in this case if you've been a customer for a year I would expect them to absorb that cost.
Never had luck with that one. Maybe it's the aluminum mac body? Anyway, I got an N1 and that has pretty much solved this for me worldwide.

I don't know why I would ever judge the performance of non-tuned GC for any collector especially when the app is one designed to make life hard for the collector? There is no useful conclusion you can draw from this test.
Where I'm from the real difference between Engineer and Technician is the amount of responsibility that is placed upon the professional's shoulders. I have lots of technician friends who complain about the work they do being the same as engineers but aren't paid in the same grade as we are.

I'm not sure whether or not I agree with them in this case but the reality that I keep seeing is the idea of "responsibility". The work that the technician does is passed through the engineer who puts his approval/stamp/whatever on it and puts it through production.

If something a technician did came through my desk and I approved it only to have it cost my client massive financial loss for a preventable reason it is MY ass that is on the line and not the technician. I could be a technician and not have that on me but that wasn't my decision and if an employer wants to retain competent engineers they need to pay them at an appropriate grade so that they're prepared to take that responsibility.

EDIT: I guess another thing is the academics that each goes through. Technicians mostly go through courses that teach reconstruction and following the spec while engineers are given a broad problem and time to solve it.

I'm not saying technicians are incapable of design, I'm just saying the schools my friends went through didn't teach it so it isn't really expected of them.

Here's a great interactive tool from IBM, based on 2010 data: http://www-958.ibm.com/software/data/cognos/manyeyes/visuali...

99% = $515k taxable household income, which I believe includes capital gains.

It's a hard L-shaped graph though, the difference between 30 and 40% is under $10k, but the real jumps don't come until the mid 90% range.
Your graphs make it very hard to compare the performance of the different collectors. What about putting all of them in the same plot, making that logarithmic, and include cumulative time (on a separate linear axis)?
I always hear that TDD is good for documentation, but most of my unit tests cover odd corner cases, weird error conditions and the like. It certainly isn't a show of what to do. What do you do with your unit tests that make them high quality documentation?

You could follow the advice of many commenters here and increase prices. I recommend you increase prices on new customers, but maintain similar prices for current customers, since they've been early adopters of your service. The danger of suddenly raising prices on existing customers (or radically changing the service) is that you might lose them (see Netflix).
If you don't want Google to have that power, don't use their search engine.

It seems more than likely that most alien species would have eyes (or at least some sort of visual receptors), given their immense value. Yes, I know that other species could live on planets in total darkness, but I highly doubt that given that handicap, they would advance to the point of even a Kardashev Type 1 civilization. Maybe giant bats at best. Not discounting nature's ingenuity, only saying the most likely reality given all we know about life.
