I'd just like to point out that this article is written by an author who almost always "get's it wrong." I've even been in a couple of her stories. They are always PR pitched and biased. VC funding stops. VC funding starts. Building is hotbed for Tech Startups. Etc. Etc. So Dice pitched a story, that doesn't make it true.

See for yourself and with the benefit of hindsight, see if you agree with her stories: http://online.wsj.com/search/term.html?KEYWORDS=PUI-WING+TAM...

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't entropy in an information source mean there's _more_ information rather than less ?
Definining her salary is much more difficult. Marketing titles can really vary - what is an associate? What is a specialist? What is a product manager? What is a brand manager? There are some brand managers making six figures and some making $25k.

Pricing herself out, or under. He just defined the problem; the discussion on finding out relevant / points of reference for the salary negotiations.

However, in marketing (as some below have noted points of "pain" in relation to "increased X sales %, saved $ with cost savings streamlining X" etc., may be more definable with her previous experience. More information would be helpful though, as the fields fascinating (marketing).
FWIW I have been both a contractor and a full time employee a few times in the past 5 years and from what I have learned/been told, the general rule is if you make 74k, you should ask for 74/hr to be a contractor due to higher taxes, less job security, no benefits, etc. Obviously this is a pretty sweet deal as the paychecks are bigger, but your expenses are higher and eventually the threat of a changing economy taking your job mean you need to save some extra from that.
Community-driven manuals and best practices are always welcome additions and IMHO the easiest-to-find ways to learn a topic.

Keep up the good work guys.

I view donations this way ... I like you, I hope you succeed, here's some money to go forth and kick-ass.

I view donations-related bribery this way ... my interests are important, here's some money to let you know how important they are ... you do know that I sell alcohol at local gas stations, right? Also, did I mention how I only sponsor politicians that serve my interests?.

Yes, that's not explicit by itself. $500,000 ending up in some bank account is the explicit part. The government's purpose is to serve the interests of all the country's citizens, instead of listening to the highest bidder. How can that still be framed as free speech beats me.

Ask HN: How do you manage client projects which need lots of copy and images
For our current way of working, we share an Excel sheet which states what assets (i.e. images and copy) are needed and what's been delivered. The client will drop the files into a Dropbox folder and update the Excel spreadsheet. I'm finding this way of working inefficient because a good number of times, files are just dropped into folders with no organization, no context and no update of the Excel spreadsheet. Tons of emails still need to be sent to know what's happening in the Dropbox folder.

Does anyone have a better way to manage the sharing of assets between client and vendor for projects.
Ask HN: Where to start reading on security?
I'm a CS student right now thinking about specializing in security. The problem I have, however, is that I don't know enough about security to know on which particular areas of security I want to focus. I only know enough to realize that it is in of itself a quite diverse field.

My question for all the security guys that hang around here is this: what books or blog should I start with if I want a general introduction to the field? I could just wait for the intro level course at my university, but I like to give myself a head start (especially on introductory courses) as I find that the repetition of teaching myself and being taught in class gives me a much more solid foundation in the material.
Is it really double? The employer's side of FICA adds ~$15k , whatever the state adds to the employer adds a few more thousand. Lets be extravagant and say each of these line items cost $12k/year ($1k/month):

* Office space, utilities, parking space

* Health Insurance

* Administrative Overhead

* Office Equipment

It comes out to around $168k/year. And I know almost nobody spends that much on each of those items.

Average Silicon Valley Tech Salary Passes $100,000.

And Silicon Valley remains the only place in the country where prices are such that $100,000 is barely getting by.
These days, the collusion is between Intel/ARM and Mozilla / Google Chrome.

I've got a closet full of ancient hardware (well, a vast underground chamber, but we'll stick to PC hardware of the past decade or two), most of which should still run a Linux kernel and, with a threshhold of somewhere between 16 an 96 MB, bootstrap a Debian installation. For basic command-line utilities, they're fine, and even a few graphical programs.

But truth is that your computer is doing much, much more, at least in terms of system demands, than it did 10 or 20 years ago. This doesn't translate to prodigious amounts of end-user productivity necessarily, but it does suck cycles and RAM (and on handhelds: battery life). Which reminds me that a lot of the interesting stuff in terms of efficiency is happening in the mobile space. Form factors, weight, and battery size and weight are all highly constrained, so efficiency gains in both hardware and software are critically important.

Back to that desktop/laptop increasing complexity: I see this as having a fractal nature -- as hardware capabilities increase, there are multiple dimensions of increasing demand complexity, very much as you'd render a fractal and, for a huge increase in the amount of computation, see only a slight refinement of the pattern.

Systems of yesteryear did what they did by keeping the tasks simple, and extraneous processing to an absolute minimum. Ask anyone who's waited an afternoon for a few precious seconds of CPU on a highly overtasked mainframe what their opinion of that experience is. These days, to a fair approximation, throwing more hardware at a problem isn't a bad first approximation -- it's cheaper than programmer time, and, well, if it doesn't work, hardware is fungible (especially in the cloud): time for plan B, work smarter.
I think he has some good ideas, but still contains the major flaw that the movie industry still has: A publisher. The publisher/producer maybe was a good idea when spreading an idea was still hard, and we had a lot of mass markets.

Even computer software was distributed through a publisher at the beginning (for example VisiCalc), but it just doesn't work.

Game developers for example seem to slowly get that they don't need a publisher but a distribution platform. Steam is a good start in that direction (but I think still too selective). If there was a platform that would handle distribution, payment and awareness, we could get a lot more movies that won't be big hits, but instead cater to the minorities. Because this is where we are heading. The music industry a really feeling that hard. There probably won't be any "Beatles" or "Rolling Stones" anymore, because distributing and spreading the word about some niche music in that niche circle is getting easier and easier.

And I think this will, in the end, be what will kill Hollywood, because there won't be a movie anymore that grosses multiple million dollars.

part of the reason why: Bay Area leads nation in rental price increases http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/2012/01/bay-area-leads-natio...

At a previous startup, a ceo was out drinking beers with some engineers. Now this ceo is quite a nice person, so please don't think that I think poorly of him. Somehow, salaries came up and the ceo mentioned that we were all presumably doing pretty well. Then one of my engineer coworkers mentioned he was paying $2300 or something like that in rent for a small one bedroom near Valencia and 20th, and I said my gf and I were paying $2600 for a medium one bedroom in upper haight. The ceo was utterly shocked at what rent prices were, since he'd moved to the city and bought a house nearly 30 years before. It turns out he was paying something like $1300/mo to live in a mansion in pac heights and his mortgage was almost paid off. The thing that bugged me, in retrospect, was his lack of awareness of one of the primary drivers of engineering salaries: the cost of living in sf. And the impact of the city being actively hostile to tearing down a lot of the pretty crummy housing we have and building up.

edit: not to mention, if you perhaps want to own, $500 - $600K in most of SF is not exactly living in luxury. If you're near real public transport, ie bart, it's a small one bedroom and if you resign yourself to a crappy commute or driving it's a lower end two bedroom, 700-1100 ft^2. Further, you'll pay $1.1k per million dollars of value per month in taxes, so for a $600k house you're giving the city nearly $700/mo for forever.
I used to think of moving to USA. I'm a pretty good programmer and it would've been nice to work in an American startup. When reading these news, about SOPA/PIPA, about the crazy amount of spying and control in the airports, about forcing to decrypt my laptop, I don't want to go there even for a holiday anymore. I'm happy here in Berlin and even though the salaries are half what I would get from Silicon Valley, the cost of living is also much lower.

And I'm not alone.

Seems like they went after everyone. 2012 has not been so good for these types of sites.
Specifically, for years Microsoft colluded with Intel to make systems which consumed more memory and CPU power such that an 'upgrade' cycle would be required.

It does not seem right. Recent Ubuntu releases will not perform better on older machines than Windows 7, and I seriously doubt that there's a pact between Canonical and Intel as well.
Sounds like he subscribes to the lean model too.

Thats part of the 'tragedy' of it (Ok making over a 100k isn't a tragedy) but being that SV is so tech worker heavy the costs shoot up and quickly eat into the salary gains. If you want to see hockey stick growth look at the rising cost of rent.

If you can swing it the sweetest deal you can get is to work remotely for a company in SV with the SV salary.
I read halfway through point number 1 and I thought "robotize the studio." Think of a new studio that is infinitely configurable with lights and cameras, and all controlled by software. Kind of a Holodeck but in reverse, or a blackbox theatre where the point is to record everything that goes on in the studio and configure that recording, maybe even something similar to a 3D scanner but with full motion cameras. 3D Models and location overlays could be inserted more easily because all the details of the original shots are already recorded, and can be adjusted after shooting.

What this is would be a standardized studio room, that would only require the director and actors on set. Every other specialty could be done in post, and thus allow them to work on more projects at once. Better skilled people, doing more work, drives quality up and lower costs. Win:Win
Sometimes we are helpful as middle-men, being the "bad" guy for the negotiations (upping the salary in negotiation based on X, Y, Z). ~20% avg fee for $80,000 vs $102,000 is a difference of $4,400 to the company, and an extra (lets say 15% commission) $660 to the recruiter. However, that is way too high of a spread at that point of the negotiation to be a feasible discussion (the candidate should have been submitted at $90-$105, or $95-$110,000).

If the company is sold on the candidate, it is feasible for the recruiter to negotiate another $10,000. If the company has other options or isn't clamoring, you may lose the offer.

But, most recruiters are bunk, and the difference between $80,000 and $95,000 can be a breakdown in the offer being pulled, ergo the "real estate" example of closing the deal at a lower price (salary) and cost of losing it all together. The cost of losing it isn't worth the extra $3,000 / company and $450 / recruiter.

With a recruiter, if you let them know your top-end range, they will typically be blunt with "that is too far out of the range of the position."

Recommended the above comment:
Of course, the take-home lesson is that if you aren't comfortable setting a high anchor point for your salary you shouldn't deal through recruiters. Which probably helps to explain why companies seem to love using recruiters.
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3501730

Companies can sway this the other way, with using the recruiting firm as the "bad guy" of "well, he/she was submitted at $85,000, why are they pushing back for another $5 (or $10),000. This happens as well (incorrectly "getting a candidate in, and we'll renegotiate up, you don't want to price yourself out!" or, submitting too high, resulting in an immediate dequal.

Ug.

Edit: many companies don't necessarily have a sense of fairness, hence asking for salary history, to offer you the lowest possible (or even lateral) salary.

whoops, got out of bed too early
Executive and management level IT salaries along with experienced project managers have gone through the roof. The type of jobs where positions are filled via reference or headhunting rather than advertised.

From my experience and knowing what some friends are earning, these types of positions are paying up to double what they were 5 years ago. A lot more stock is also being offered in angel funded and Series A companies to attract the right people.

I know a handful of experienced people in this field who are contracting out at $40k+ a month. One person I know recently switched from $35k+ a month on a contract and was poached at $90k+ a month.
Honestly, I am observing closely the way some new system languages evolve - D, Go, Rust and I see a large intersection of features with Ada.

I am always amazed that no valid discussion/comparison of those languages and Ada erupt in these threads :( Ada is not as bad as it's painted to be.
A data is not relational or not-relational. Creating relations is a way to model data. Sometimes it's adequate, sometimes it's not.

As for the separation between "static" and "dynamic", again, I'm not sure I follow you. The definition of what is static and dynamic depends on how your model the data. What if you store every update? What is static? What is dynamic? Is new content dynamic or static?

Additionally, do you imply XML or JSON may be valid to store, say, a HD movie?

Actually, in most major disruptions, crime rates don't go up much (usually, they go down), and people tend to help each other.

It depends a lot on how hopeless the place was before the disaster; Haiti becomes even worse, but someplace like Montana with heavy snow becomes even safer and more community oriented. Not a whole lot of violent looting at the Tsunami which basically destroyed major parts of Japan.

Goal: live in places which won't turn into hell after a natural disaster.
This is way old. Hope someone doesn't start following this. Many of the points aren't even valid now.
You left out the time required to market yourself and look for new gigs, the allowance for empty space in your schedule (it's hard to manage a pipeline even in a factory where you have insane degree of control; don't expect perfect scheduling as a consultant) and a safety margin to cover the clients who don't pay thir bills.

That said, "double" is a rule of thumb. Physicist law states that 1.68 is equal to two for rule-of-thumb purposes. ;)

Advice to all companies: just give a fair salary
I've noticed a lot of salary related threads and it's sad that this is the state of the industry. Companies should realize by now that engineers are not dumb. We can play the game and negotiate hard to get the salary we deserve.

But my question to companies is, are you really just that stupid? Every company should know that an engineer is an investment in time. It takes months, maybe a year for an engineer to learn how the company works and be productive. Many years in the domain and the company to go from productive to enhancing and improving the business. It's not just about coding. It's also the relationships you build up within the company that makes an engineer increasingly more and more effective the longer they are there.

So you manage to trick an engineer and hire him way before market rate. You save a few thousand a year doing so, maybe tens of thousands. You really think they're not going to find out pretty quickly? There's so much salary data out there. And what do you think they're going to do when they find out? They will hate you, make plans to leave, and tell all their friends that you are scum who pay below market. All that time you invested in the engineer? Gone. Your reputation in the job market? Gone. Your ability to be agile and adapt to business needs? Gone. Eventually your company? Gone.

Was that really worth saving a few thousands per year? Just skip the stupid salary game and give a fair salary. It's the smart thing to do from a business perspective.
I general I have heard and seen that SublimeText is better than TextMate and look good as well. The fact that most of the plugins from TextMate work with Sublime means it is a no-brainer which to use.
I like the concept, but why does this map http addresses (http://server.com) to ip addresses? Why not instead have a table of ips and domains (like /etc/hosts) so you can then just sync the freedom.txt file into your hosts file? That's what the hosts file is designed for after all.

This has the added benefit of working with virtual hosting configurations where the browser has to pass the Host header to the server to get a web page.
Why Do We Need To Recycle Cartridges?

Logically, it's the other way around: rent rises because wages (i.e., ability to pay, with an implied high willingness to pay for better housing) are high. Rent rises to capture some of the surplus that is created by the high amounts of money that go around.

ASP.NET - Sending Email Both in HTML and Plain Text
It isn't a perfect solution, but we often use unfuddle ( http://unfuddle.com ) for that. You can attach files to tickets, and set milestones to be dependant on tickets, so it's always easy to send a client a report showing which outstanding tickets allocated to them are holding up a particular milestone.

It introduces a lot of "project management" administrative work, which we're still struggling with deciding which projects benefit enough from it to account for the extra time spent in the project management tool, and which projects are small enough that letting one person "own" the project and deal with all that manually is worth the risk of dropping things on the floor occasionally.

There's a free level of account (2 users, 200mB storage) you can use to test drive it...
This is because investors invest in people rather than ideas. This means if an entrepreneur has been funded before or is associated with a past funding they will get funding regardless of the idea. This is why you are seeing "ridiculous companies" getting funding. An amazing idea by an unknown entrepreneur is worth less than a crappy idea from an entrepreneur who has social proof (ie. is connected). To answer your question, yes, lots of ridiculous companies are getting funded for the wrong reasons.
Not with one class and no accreditation, he won't. UOP is the largest private educator in the US with more than 400,000 paid students.

/etc/hosts integration is in the works; you're the 2nd person to recommend it so far (the first being my roommate ;-) ).

What's up now is just a quick hack to get momentum for the project in the meantime. If this takes off, the innovation will be social rather than technical, so I thought I'd spend 5 minutes to see if it's worthwhile.

Thanks for the input!
