LinkedIn likes to brag about how it's reasonably priced... Just $18 per resume.

"The cost to obtain a qualified resume on LinkedIn was less than CareerBuilder; $18.33 per resume versus $175.50."

http://talent.linkedin.com/blog/index.php/2009/12/cost-per-r...

I don't think pricing is going to be the problem here.

I seem to remember when that theory was discussed, it was explained that GPS clocks already take into account relativistic motion. Or something like that, don't quote me, I'm not a physicist.
And given a lot of people use GitHub or their own blog as their primary method of showcasing what they can do, the anonymity this provides doesn't seem as useful as it might first appear.

Not exactly. The collection of particles, even if you detect them one at a time, displays an interference pattern. However, if you make an effort to detect which slit each particle goes through, you see that each one behaves as a particle, like you would expect, and the interference pattern vanishes.

And this is true whether you detect which slit it passes through before or after its point of impact has been detected.

That's what's weird. A particle can be particle-like or wave-like, but not both, and the thing that determines which it is is whether or not you will look.
I am hoping against hope...

Great timing with last night's Nova, Fabric of Time: Quantum Leap which covers the context of this paper at a layman's level quite well (streamable for free @ http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/). It's a fantastic introduction to this sort of material for the uninitiated, highly recommended.
This is pretty standard advice, but find forums, blogs, clubs for book-lovers. They can help promote for you (if they like your idea). Pitch to them like you would any VC or angel investor but cater to their passion for books.

Where do people like to read books? Coffee shops? Parks? Maybe you can add marketing material to these areas?

In general, what advantages do you offer over, say, Amazon's marketplace? I think its important to highlight why people should use your website over someone else's.
So which is it? Academics, or a notorious MIT professor?

You're blaming the problem on completely the wrong party to begin with. Academic researchers are getting screwed by groups like JSTOR on a regular basis. There are gorram huge movements in academia dedicated to working on this problem. You're blaming the people who are actually doing the most to try to fix this.

Then give him an ultimatum. Don't be headstrong if you can't find another job, but if you have that cushion, I would suggest telling him. You would like to be put in a more serious position instead of support and you feel like there should be a set date or milestone where you will be allowed to do so.

Sometimes it feels like they hold all the chips, but you can quit at any time and they will be sh*t out of luck. Don't let them forget it and your bargaining will be easier.

Yup, exactly. Decent idea, but this kills it completely.
Photons are spin one, and mediate the electromagnetic interaction. They have zero mass and propagate at c.

There are actually three types of neutrino (and they spontaneously change from one type to another), they are all spin-one-half, and they interact with other matter only via the weak nuclear force, which has a much smaller effective distance than the electromagnetic force, so they don't interact very often. They have non-zero mass, but it is so small that we don't actually know what it is.

Everything in the universe exhibits the wave-particle duality.
Thanks! We've been trying to contact physical bookstores and online sellers til now. The forums, blogs and clubs may be a better way forward. Amazon does not operate in Australia and the most active marketplace is a minimal free service run by universities (textbooksexchange).

Take the higher compensation and start working on a side project, invest all the money that you make over your current compensation into launching that side project when you are ready.

For me, the best justification for “doing it ourselves” is that it’s what exceptional companies do. We dig under abstraction layers not knowing what we’ll find. We dig under Linq to SQL. We dig under Redis clients. We really never consider the vendor’s platform good enough.

The result of a million small optimizations is a platform that others can’t create.

Generally speaking the best jobs are given through word of mouth and knowing the right people, so you'd still be far from getting the cream of the crop positions. I think the HN crowd can be more ambitious than this.

Also, startups and small businesses most likely cannot afford this service.
Exactly. Whenever law enforcement approaches a situation with a "we'll show HIM who's boss" chip on its shoulder, it's a recipe for disaster. It's a wonder they managed to nab him off his bicycle without shooting anyone's dog.

Well you can go on the attack and create laws that they will be busy lobbying against, reduce their power, etc. The tech industry doesn't seem to go on the offensive with this kind of stuff, probably because they find it distasteful, while *IAA doesn't.

What the BSA and Pfizer want can be separated out of the SOPA bill and it wouldn't effect the tech industry much at all as far as I understand. Some smart lobbyist combined the two categorical interests to increase it's likelihood of passing.

It looks like many (most / all?) Honeycomb tablets will be upgrading to ICS. I don't find this terribly surprising given (a) the general opinion about Honeycomb (b) that (naturally) Honeycomb is closer to ICS than Gingerbread is.

Tablets I've heard about:

- ASUS Transformer (and Transformer Prime if necessary) update "soon" after the Transformer Prime launch (possibly before the end of the year) [1] I believe the Slider is also being upgraded, but I'm not sure whether or not it is on the same schedule.

- Acer Iconia tablets update January 2012

- Motorola XOOM confirmed (no ETA except for a retracted 6 weeks after source release). Surprisingly (for a launch device), it sounds like the XOOM won't be the first Android tablet to ICS.

- Samsung Galaxy Tab - all Honeycomb models are getting ICS (no ETA)

- Lenovo's working on a Tegra 3 ICS tablet (rumored to be out late this year), but I haven't seen anything about their existing Honeycomb tablets

[1] That probably sounds incredible if you haven't seen ASUS's stunning update history so far (beating the XOOM to worldwide rollouts of new Honeycomb versions and several feature/bugfix upgrades, to boot). I'm one happy ASUS customer.

I wasn't thinking of things you have the power to address. I was thinking more of making yourself the fall guy for things you didn't cause and cannot fix. I didn't know how to express exactly why, but scott_s summarizes part of my feelings on the matter quite well.

The rest of my thoughts on the matter center around the sense I get that, in continually taking responsibility (blame) for things outside your ability to influence, you will basically form a habit of it, which will lead you down a dark road of learned helplessness, omega behavior, and never being able to please your clients because everything bad that happens is "your" fault. If you think about it, if you form a habit of it and it begins to internalize, you are basically developing something similar to Imposter Syndrome.

Personally, when something is my fault I try to own it. When something is not, and is outside my sphere of influence, I try to skip past the issue of "fault" by briefly explaining the cause (in an attempt to show it was not incompetence on my part, while doing my best to avoid "pointing fingers") and focus on resolution.

Simple example: Coworker erases your work from centralized revision control (history and all), causing you to miss a deadline. Do you declare, "There was a glitch in revision control, it is my fault for trusting it" or do you state the facts and try to move on? The former certainly appears to be noble, but to me it appears to be the tragic hero sort of noble.

(I will add that I am very conflicted in writing this. I am saying to myself, "You cold heartless bastard!". I would, and do, cover for other people sometimes, but fundamentally I do believe in the untenable nature of regularly making yourself the scapegoat.)

Why another market? Why people don't use gumtree/ebay or whatever forum to sell their used books?

Compare to cars/houses, books are quite simple - the only practical searchable attribute is the book name. Thus no point to dedicate a website just for the book.

I would suggest u guys change strategy to build a book-trade website, for example, I can give my used books to you, and you would owe me 1 book-point, then I can use the book-point to purchase used books from someone else.

And for books, a community is more important than marketplace, probably you should add more web-2.0 elements into it.

Also, I personally don't understand why so many australian websites put geotrust logo at the footer - it is tooooo ugly.
For phones, most of the current "flagship" models (e.g. SGS2, Galaxy Note, Motorola/Droid RAZR, HTC Sensation, Amaze, etc.) have been promised ICS upgrades. The best manufacturer so far is Sony Ericsson, who has promised that their entire 2011 Xperia lineup will get ICS. If only they had some higher-end phones...
There are a ton of things that every free person should be pissed about, but they're all too busy watching fox news.
That's not comparable at all. Or rather it is, but it makes LinkedIn look exactly the same price, with a bigger candidate pool.

The $18 per resume there is after human screening removed the bad resumes. Pleasepoachme charges $10 per match - and as far as I can see all they do is a text match on the requirements.

In the post you linked to, he had to review 39 LinkedIn resumes to get 11 qualified candidates. Based on the Pleasepoachme rates, looking at 40 resumes would be $200. Assuming 11 candidates were found, that is $18 per qualified candidate.
I was explaining to a friend my understanding that the emitter and receiver for these neutrino experiments basically needed to be synchronized to a single, fictional (superluminal, etc.) frame of reference. I'm positive there are many factors going into how this is done.

Odd, given that a GPU-accelerated UI is one of the headline features of ICS. Perhaps they chose a GPU that's better for UI than gaming (but is there such a thing?).
Adrian Tan’s Graduation Speech  NTU
From the little I know, my bet is it's Swartz's _methods_ that have gotten him in trouble, not so much what he's trying to do. Although there's something to do with streaming he was involved with and I don't know much about that. What's the story behind that?

PACER I do know about, first hand. It is a low cost _public service_ that has historically operated at a surplus. I'm sure the goverment _wants_ the public to have better access to this information. This information is going to be free; it's inevitable. It just might take some time.

But I read that Swartz went into a _federal court_ library and installed some stealth software; maybe it was just a simple script, doesn't matter. If that's true, that is just a really DUMB thing to do, no matter how noble the objective. Is that really the only place he could do the downloads?

And as for this MIT incident, the facts speak for themselves. Most people have no idea what Python is. They have no idea how fast an http server can respond to requests. They don't understand the difference between open and closed data formats, or data that's easy to access versus data they have to click 25 times to get to. All they see is a kid sneaking around.

Whether the charges he's facing are commensurate with the damage he's caused is another question. But he does need to show more respect for existing systems no matter how slow to change they may be (even if he has to pretend).

He's definitely pushed the issue alright. I just hope for his sake and everyone else who knows their way around computers he hasn't pushed a little too far, too soon.

If his methods are deliberately extreme, if he meant to do things this way, then he's either got some huge cajonas and unparalleled advisors behind him, or he's just young and stupid.

Though I don't agree with the methods, I hope it's the former.
I am glad someone noticed! I admit, I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old.
bad employers can think they own you. if they find out you're looking or are going to quit, they can react very poorly. especially if how they find out is seeing your resume on a job site (or worse, if a recruiter brings your resume to your current boss).

"don't work for bad employers then" yeah pretty much! but you need to eat and pay the rent while you're looking for your next job so any way to both get your resume out there while not alerting your current boss is desired. this website is definitely not that (though really, most websites aren't if that's your concern).
Seems like you need an international Google Voice.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I got mine and I like it just fine, for what it is. I have an iPad, and a galaxy tab 10.1. It's a tablet designed to work with Amazon content. That, it does just fine.

I streamed some Amazon Prime video content, and it did okay. I agree that volume control is wonky (it couldn't have been that hard to put a volume scrubber under the time scrubber, could it?) but performance wise it was just fine. Netflix streamed with nary a hiccup at all, perhaps Marco's network was a bit clogged at the time?

Music worked great. I didn't set up email because I use Gmail and I know all the Google services integration has been ripped out. I also have enough other things to read email on that I don't need to acknowledge notifications in yet another location.

Honestly though, I'm surprised that Amazon didn't do something like throw in more Prime membership time (A month doesn't seem like enough)...or maybe subsidize the membership price (make it $50/yr if you own a Fire)

In the end, if I could only have one tablet, this wouldn't be it. But I think it's well worth the price I paid.
You should read the paper, they go through that in great detail. I'm not an expert but their clocks are being synchronized via two methods (GPS and fiber-optic connect) independently. They're pretty sure the timing is correct down to 1 nanosecond.

However, in my experience, people who have mastered their tool-chains are most likely good developers too.
The worst kinds of bugs are the ones that only happen in production, when you have some crazy set up with a load balancer, a CDN and/or Varnish, and a few app servers, high traffic, middle of the day, and a bunch of executives hovering. I have seen a crazy bug that happened only on one of the identical app servers. Turns out SVN export didn't perform correctly (still don't know why), and one of the files was messed up. That was not easy to find.

I have seen Apache ignore updated PHP files, and serving old code, which should never happen. This a real bitch to debug.
In some sense yes : If you know the starting conditions, one could just crank it through to the outcomes (assuming the strongest form of their result). OTOH, one can't measure everything, since you'd be collapsing wavefunctions everywhere - changing the state of the universe as you go.

On April 3, 2011, The New York Times posted an article on their website announcing that "eight of the more prominent editorial and technology staff members at Engadget have left or are leaving AOL and are about to build a new gadget site". The group included former Engadget editor in chief Joshua Topolsky, managing editor Nilay Patel, editors Paul Miller, Joanna Stern, Chris Ziegler, and Ross Miller, product manager Justin Glow, and developer Dan Chilton.

What did you use for all the UI and widgets that JQUI gives you? Did you find that a tough gap to fill in when you dropped JQUI?
Yes, if additional numbers were actually priced well. Skype for example, you're paying 20-50cents a minute for forwarding to non-U.S. cellphones so that's worse than roaming in some cases. It's a telco issue basically: cell phone calls are ridiculously priced outside of the U.S. and Canada.

I usually get one or two job offers a month, but I always get my contacts via one of my web app projects that I built as a sample of my skills. Surprisingly the offers aren't from ignorant recruiters, and are mostly legit offers from decent startup companies.

Of course I am happily employed full time already so I am turning offers down. However, I don't think being contacted is a bad thing. At the very least I am building a list of email addresses of insiders from reputable startups that I can draw from if I ever am on the search for a new job.

Yes. That's what happened with the patent petition: a meaningless response. But then someone created another petition to re-consider the patent petition. Even if we have to go in circles at some point it has to stop. Media will blog about it:
