Without implying any bad will about the author of this post, who is a recruiter, recruiters are incentivized to close deals, not to get you the best possible package. It is possible that this background would convince a recruiter that advice which is against your interests is still a good idea, because if he adopts advice which will predictably results in employees underpricing themselves, his conversion rate from interviews to paychecks will improve, possibly dramatically. If his placements are routinely leaving $10k on the table, that only costs him $3k per placement, which might on a subconscious level either a) not be motivational or b) might be a totally rational decision because of the increased volume of placements he gets by advising people to take any reasonable deal.

My father is a real estate agent, and real estate agents have demonstrable blind spots (seriously, academic literature exists on this) for negotiation when negotiating for clients versus when selling their own homes. When they're selling their own home, five hours of extra work might add $5,000 to the sales price, so of course they go the extra mile. When they're selling a client's home, five hours of extra work might add $5,000 to the sales price but their commission check only goes up by $300, so they'll generally opt to tell you "That's a really fair offer. You should take it. Can we close this today? I have a young couple who I'd really like to meet with now about buying a brownstone, and the expected value of my time with them is way higher than the marginal value of my time with you. Oh whoops did I just say that out loud?"
Which one of the non-realistic explanations is the closest to being a realistic explanation, and in what way does it fall short?
Hard call. If it's a big consulting company with a variety of projects available negotiating a bit more than just giving your notice might be to your benefit. Ask to go to 50% time on the VBA to get back to the original promise of Java dev opportunities or something. Of course, if the overall fit just isn't right then no sense sitting somewhere you're unhappy!
It was pretty disappointing when I zoomed in and the "Search" magnifying glass wasn't SVG :)

How I Cleaned Up, Split Up And Became More Useful
Dear Rupert Murdoch: Let’s Talk Piracy & “The Simpsons”
Wow, we really think alike. I posted the same thing and then saw this.
No, it says the gender gap is caused— in part— by assumptions that favor men due to the tech industry already favoring men. The first item on the list about video games being male-centric sets up the rest.
random fact, but Thomas Pynchon also jobbed as a technical writer for a period of time shortly before publishing V. His fictional Yoyodyne company is loosely modeled after boeing, apparently.
Assuming a family of 4, a 3 bedroom apartment, and living in the valley, your monthly expenses are going to be in the range of 6k/month. A post tax income of 72k a year is essentially a 6 figure pretax salary. I don't see that as an extravagant lifestyle at all.

It depends on if you are counting devices versus OS... Android sells more than iOS, but the numbers are split amongst all the manufacturers.
But the metric your post used was Handsets, not Profit: "everywhere else in the first world owns or will own an iPhone."
Yea it's working fine now. before I kept getting a different ID on youtube and "this video is not available". Makes me wonder if it was still uploading or some other hiccup.

Yes, in the morning it's so quiet that I find music distracting.

The one thing I've added is a nice room air filter and run it on low. The quiet white noise from the fan provides a smooth background.
Am Indian and I mostly eat with Hands except in restaurants and Office for hygienic and social reasons. I feel eating with hands establishes a "connect" between you and food. I relish food alot by this method even if its a simple meal. With other method I taste spoon(metallic) along with food and hence can't relish much. Hand also acts as feedback mechanism to brain whether food is hot/cold, hard/soft etc before tongue (a sensitive part)gets a surprise.
I am probably wrong, but aren't we risking a lot by using such a strong language as Killing an industry? Sure there are hundreds of mean studio executives who want to do nothing but maximize their own profits, at times at the expense of newer and in many ways better industries, but there also are thousands of others whose livelihood depends on the industry. Thousands, who might have been otherwise neutral or supportive of our cause, but not if we visibly and purposefully strive to kill their source of income.

Propaganda is something we aren't the best at, but Hollywood most definitely is. They might be aiming at destroying the tech/internet industry but they have been very cautious in choosing the right wordings so as to avoid any direct attacks (except a few who patronized 'nerds'). Even if they are using old school cliches that mean nothing if careful deductions are used, but most people would not care taking the effort. Most people would see that there are two groups fight - one that says they will save American jobs and livelihood while preventing them from illegal drugs and their children from pornography while the other group is trying to kill and entire industry. Sympathy can be a very strong tool, especially in elections (I am just saying this based on movies/popular culture - I have zero first hand experience about US elections/political atmosphere).

We should probably be careful that we do not end up just winning battles and lose the war - and there is no way that this is going to be a short one.
Exactly. I was looking for their take on "save". Did they stick to a floppy disk icon?
American Zoetrope failed because Coppola was self-financing movies people didn't want to watch. Dreamworks failed because they had too many big-budget box office failures AND, because they were a new studio, they did not have a library of old movies that can support their business.

>never produce a film that requires broad mass market success to avoid total financial failure.

You'll avoid financial disaster but you'll never "destroy" Hollywood with this mindset. Copolla and Roger Corman disrupted the movie industry but they did not "destroy" Hollywood.
How about we figure out a way to get money OUT of politics.

Your proposed ideas are, in fact, almost exactly what I had in mind with my original post (though my arbitrarily chosen $10M example may seem contradictory). I'd like to discuss further.
Goto is actually relatively common in C code. As in this case, it's usually used for error handling in much the same manner as exceptions might be. The document "/usr/src/linux/Documentation/CodingStyle" actually recommends such usage.

This is mostly true, but there are some cool things (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._coli_long-term_evolution_exp...) that have been done. (You might recall that Lenski's team saw E. coli evolve the ability to eat citrate: http://scienceblogs.com/loom/2008/06/02/a_new_step_in_evolut...)

This has nothing to do with HTML5 and everything to do with SVG specs. Just because SVG is in the HTML5 specs doesn't mean that is what it is (Based on the comments on the blogs).

It depends on the person but it's true for me. I tend to do my really hard/deep thinking in the morning and queue up stuff that I can do the rest of the day. The creativity that tends to appear more often later in the day and in the evenings end up being the cool stuff that bubbles up.

I agree with you, somewhat (you seem to be extrapolating out the concept into a ludicrous example). However, we're talking about a recession. National, then global. Google apparently has to start cutting corners somewhere. To whine about having to walk thirty feet to some bagels, while people around you are losing their livelihood is, at best, distasteful.

There's a huge difference between being obsequious to an evil corporate master versus simply sucking it up in recognition of tighter times.
The point of her article was, as near as I can tell, that she mistakenly factored free food into her compensation.

My complaint is with her outlandish rhetoric around Google cutting back on some extravagances during a global recession.
My response to the "Kill Hollywood" and "Boycott Hollywood" rants: Kill Y Combinator. http://blog.moviegoer.com/post/16333492475/kill-y-combinator
Much has advanced in science since. We now know the role of various hormones and chemicals that influence our emotions. Oxytocin, adrenaline, etc. The trick to get out of anthropomorphization is to avoid being human-centric when making the observations. i.e. put on an alien hat and observe human behavior the way we might observe animal behavior, and then based on that say that one acts in a similar way to the other, and reason they may have similar motivations.
I know the complexity, at the intuition level, but can't derive them, even after reading this article.
People generally have two high-quality stints in them per day. Putting in a sleep cycle (be that a power nap or up to a full cycle) between them works wonders for all sorts of benefits physiologically and creatively.
Flambée des prix de l’alimentaire entre 2010 et 2011 selon l’Insee
I was in a very similar position as yourself. I too graduated in May of 2011 and took a job that I wasn't too happy with. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted and spending my nights and weekends working on finding and earning the job I wanted.

I considered just quitting, working on my own projects, and being happier. But for financial reasons, my first choice was to find a job that would pay me to work on projects that I wanted to work on. I was extremely lucky to find such a job and now instead of slaving at a job that I hate and working on the types of projects I want to, I get to work on similar projects 40 hours a week and get paid.

I also moved to Boulder, CO, because of their startup community, since my long term goal is to own my own company.

So my advice is to keep interviewing and stay strong!

Is SOPA Only About Movie Industry? | Certainties & Serendipities
Guys if you really need great filesharing service, use demanoid, use rutracker.org (Russian)
At that price its no real loss to skip the movie either. You can always watch it 'later'.

You get checkmated here by the Holly wood buzz machine.

People will go with their mainstream aware friends for the major holywood release over your movie. They will watch your movie independently, later.

As has been said in this thread, the only real competiton is time - Holly wood is dying already, because they are fighting for time, which is being eroded by video games, mmos and the likes of zynga.
I find the layout irritating as well. While The Noun Project is good for common nouns, if you're looking for something slightly out of the norm, you'll have to scroll through endless pages to find something that will fit.

Other than this, it's an excellent resource for any iOS project (or anything else, for that matter.)

According to the press release, they are also out as co-chairs of the board.

Pretty sure the piece you are referring to was by Michael Mace: http://mobileopportunity.blogspot.com/2010/10/whats-really-w...
You're assuming that Hollywood promotes legislation that threatens to break the internet because they want to stop piracy. This is a generous assumption, and in most cases the best one, but we can't rule out the possibility they consider the internet a competing source of entertainment and just want to break it.
How was Primer democratic? It was made the same way every other great low-budget film was made: a talented, single-minded and dedicated director.
This totally works. Why?

You put your best and most creative energy into your own project.

Instead of whatever you have left in the tank after a long day of work and then doing home stuff and then finally settling in.

Getting out of bed isn't a problem when I'm so excited to work on something and I know what exactly I need to do -- I make a list before I go to bed.

Lack of distraction plus a full head of steam and energy is a great combination.

I try to do this as much as possible because it's so rewarding. Breaking the cycle with a late night or the weekend seems to be my main obstacle, I'm thinking of waking early 7 days a week and becoming like my old man, lol.

Will work/job suffer? Our work/job often needs our attention to detail more than our best and most creative effort every day.

Wow, I'm surprised that 10hrs after posting nobody has mentioned this book:

"The Art of Public Speaking" by Dale Carnegie is considered the Bible of public speaking.

http://www.manybooks.net/titles/carnegieda16311631716317-8.h...

It's a timeless manual that describes in detail how to humanize both the content and delivery of your speech and how to connect with 1000 people the same we are able to connect with one.

It's applicable to any type of communication, so even if you don't plan on public speaking, I highly recommend reading it.
Why wouldn't they help? If you know the location of stolen property, wouldn't they chase after it for you? There have been a ton of posts on here about people losing their laptops and retrieving them with police assistance because they were able to locate it.

I agree, but that also means you can't consider that as lost money for the legal offer.
Well if you have sensitive information on it, lock it, wipe it, and go buy a new one because the crook will probably realize you're on to them and destroy the phone.

If you're more concerned with just getting the phone back, get the police to retrieve it since you know the location.
Spot on. People loved their CrackBerries because of the messaging services (and maybe the keyboards), not the tired phone software. iOS and Android devices dominate the enterprise now, but RIM could retain a server-side position BES. IT departments might like a single enterprising message service that can they can standardize across the variety of Android and iOS devices they will have to support.

The Rise of the Craft Film
Hollywood is going to die not because we make a better studio (which would be a cool achievement anyway).

They will die if you just make better games and story telling systems.

Heck if someone just took dwarf fortress and got it to a stage where peoples fortress histories were converted into fantasy novels, you would have an endless fantasy novel generator/plot system, which would be worth the time to read.

Beat hollywood by competing on time. I don't know what the correct term is, but thats the leading edge/the place where the real battle is being won.

Whatever starts taking over the spare time people have, will displace all the other entertainment media out there.

I'd vote on video games, as one of the better attack vectors to approach this. And not the Micro transaction system (which is basically a casino/skinner box and now completely evil) but rather a system like EC2 which allows people to punch beyond their striking capacity.
This is a great example of making a landing page support your problem.

I have a similar situation. I live in the far East Bay and commute to San Jose, about 3 hours round trip. Sometimes I get lucky and leave early enough to make it a 1 hour trip -- being on a huge campus with nobody around at 7am is an interesting experience.

The Lost Art of Becoming Good at Things
It's hard in a big company in that the decision maker is really the hiring manager, but HR protocol gets in the way. So if the prospective hire is unhappy with the offer they have to formally decline it and then the hiring manager has to come back at HR to get them to tender a better offer. Things can happen in that process - other candidates, having to change leveling to reach the desired offer, etc. If your decision maker is the one actually in charge of the whole process then I absolutely agree that there is no downside to negotiating. Look forward to your blog post!
This is really valuable feedback. Consider this the minimum viable integration. I'm going to iterate on the UI and bug fixes for the next few releases. After it's really stable I'll add support for multiple connections.
I made a generalization, I didn't use metrics.

In any case, I find this type of pedantry kind of annoying. I made a point about RIM losing marketshare, my point was not about what percentage of a certain market Apple owns.
I woke up at 4:55am for a year while working on Stormpulse. Specifically, 2007, when my first child as 3. I was so excited that I never had a problem launching out of bed and walking down the hall to work by 5:00.
Tried this on 2.6.31.1 but it hung while waiting for the fd from the child.

[+] Executing child from child fork.
[+] Opening parent mem /proc/11045/mem in child.

> In fact you are so one sided you fail to explore the possibility that viral distribution might help you. Some indie directors are in fact trying to get their movie to spread via BitTorrent and other mediums to drive sales and gain more awareness.

So you're saying that they should give in and accept that people are going to pirate and use it to their advantage? Does that not seem defeatist?
Yeah I didn't realize that you have to patch tmux on the server. Which can be on linux or mac, even though iTerm2 only supports mac.
Not really. Some states ban or almost completely prohibit non-competes -- California being a notable example:

One thing I find that helps is to focus your mind on your overall message and its meaning. Remember that it's not about you, it's about the message. Feel the determination of conveying the message.

This helps to not let your mind wander to thoughts of worrying how good or how bad you will do (which causes nervousness) because instead of thinking about that your mind is focused on the importance of the message.
