I think the author is fussing around the wrong problem. I guess the situation is something like this.

Incompetent/bored math teacher < khan academy < better online learning platform < Good math teacher.

The number of bad math teachers across the whole planet is staggering considering that we are nearly 7 billion people on the planet especially more so in the developing and underdeveloped countries. Khan academy sets a reasonable good lowest common denominator education that our next generation of students can receive both in quality and coverage. Competition will just push this bar even higher.

To replace good teachers we may have to wait for deep AI even if wanted to do that. Till then KA, Udacity etc. can produce more autonomous students who can make better use of a great teacher's time.
Hire Mobile Application Developers India 
Selecting mobile application developers in India can be a very tedious and tiresome job. It is very vital and recommended that you decide to hire mobile application developers who are skilled and have knowledge of the mobile application market particularly.
Users have to manually download ldid only because I aspire to keep Theos a binary-free distribution: it's totally cross-platform where you have GNU make and bash (and, for Logos, perl).
Interesting, but if I wanted to get this sort of validation I'd just use Google's Closure Compiler. It supports validating types and also lets you do things like casting variables to different types. And the annotation method is pretty clear, flexible, and easy to understand.
Skimlinks does have subids I think, so technically they could "share" the revenue with users if they wanted to. Hypothetically.

I am pretty sure that paying off a loan with the shares would mean that the shares had been sold in the eyes of the IRS. If not, this seem to be a pretty simple way to avoid paying capital gains on the shares of even small stock sales.

A multinational can change its base of incorporation, and many people can and will change their citizenship over a million bucks, let alone a billion. This kind of foolish proposal would just drive more US businesses overseas.

I do international tax for a living. I laughed so hard at this line I started crying.

Businesses will do business in any nation where they can make money, taxes be damned. Moreover, taxes are the price of doing business in a country -- if they don't want to pay taxes in a country they won't get to do business there either. Multinationals will focus on miniziming taxes where feasible, but taxes usually aren't the biggest costs on their books.

The U.S. corporate tax rate is the "highest" in the world, but it only taxes profits (most other countries base corporate income taxes on revenue), which results in effective income taxation rates in the low single digits for all but a tiny handful of companies.
That's interesting. So you can use 1080p just fine? May I ask what download rate you generally get when browsing YouTube?

I didn't have any issues with the sound, but my computers all have one sound output apart from one which is connected to a sound system. I plug my headset into the sound system, though, so I've never had an issue.

Seems people aren't getting a uniform experience at all =/.
i wonder how fast really it is..
That's circumstantial evidence at best.

Here's more useless analytical evidence to suggest that most people don't know everything: when Samy Kamkar[0] first demonstrated geolocation via BSSIDs, I tried out every wireless router in my house, including one that had not been plugged into a wall in over 4 years and never at my current residence, long before Google started wardriving for street maps and well before the first iPhone came out. He was able to accurately map it to my old residence. That means that sometime before December of 2006, someone or something was able to snatch my BSSID from someplace, accurately note it's physical location in the world, and store that away in some database that was used almost 4 years later. I can guarantee you it was not Apple, and I'd be damned surprised if it was Google at that time.

I think the issue is not whether EveryMove can afford to pay developers what Microsoft does, but specifically that at Microsoft (or any big company) you may not have the kind of experience of actually building a product and bringing it to market.

The dynamics of a large company mean you are often working on one part of the delivery, that crucial parts of the product building process are owned by other people, release cycles are much longer and many projects don't even ship.

IMHO that's a fair point and the author's suggestion that the candidate build a side project as a way of demonstrating they can build + ship in a startup-like manner seems valid to me, personally. Esp for a company with just a handful of devs.
Hey Chris,

I haven't experienced the buffering issues you describe, but I've definitely seen the resizing issues from leaving fullscreen (screenshot here): http://cl.ly/2y3F0B3V0X09013U0710. I've noticed this doesn't happen after full-screen, however; there's resizing issues anytime you toggle between different video sizes.

I should point out that my connection is pretty fast, around 75 Mbps.

I also checked out the caching issue you pointed out: you're dead-on. There's no caching whatsoever with HTML5. In general, the buffering behavior is kind of odd. Doesn't behave at all like the Flash player.
Great to hear you like the tweak. Theos and Logos made the whole process a lot easier, so thank you!

I plan to use Logos to add a delegate class for the UIAlert such that I can pop up an "allow/deny" dialog, to start, and then to move on to a more full-featured preference system. I'm just thinking about how to block the thread requesting the address book information while I wait for the user to dismiss the alert.

I've been poking around at various Logos + Theos projects on GitHub and I'm impressed at what a little Perl magic can do - I'm definitely excited to dive deeper as I add features.
> What if, as happens in the markets, the shares decline in a big way?

The government could wait a full year before spending the money so that refunding from the previous year would be easy. I'm not sure I really understood from the article if refund only happens from one year to the other though and if not how fair would that be.
It is not a YouTube issue, it is a Chrome issue. I have built a fairly sophisticated html5 player, and Chrome's buffering/caching strategy is just irritating relative to Flash/Safari/IE9. Also Chrome is just not as good a seeking as Safari/IE9.

My player is designed for language learning, so the users are constantly seeking: http://bit.ly/z9J8Cc
Interesting. My device on sprint lets me disable wimax from my status screen. Also, it powers down its wimax radio when not in use.

I still don't see the appeal of raising taxes for the wealthiest income bracket. Do people expect faster lines at the dmv and world class public schools to suddenly appear once we start taxing the rich more?
Aside from his concluding bullet points (which should probably be the focus), his main reply to "Pete" seems to be: doing the same thing every year for 10 years does not give you 10 years experience.

I haven't tried on Windows, but on my Mac my dock is set on the right-hand side of my screen. This means that if I move the mouse to the bottom-right or top-right corner, the dock sometimes pops up if I'm not careful. I can't move it to the other side either because the mouse hit's the wall, so to speak. I think I just have to get used to it.
I was thinking of using Path as a personal diary. But not anymore. Just deleted Path app. I would suggest everyone to do the same. A lesson for Path and others.
I'll try FireFox 10 in a moment, by the way.
If I thought these companies were going to do something malicious with the data then it would be an issue. These companies aren't spammers. They aren't criminals. They don't plan to do anything malicious with the data. Your privacy, my privacy or any of my contacts privacy isn't at risk. It's not at risk but I don't think someone at Hipster is going through the data and using it in any way.
Singapore and Hong Kong collectively are smaller than Los Angeles or New York. Last I checked, the local tax rates in Los Angeles and New York are pretty damn low.

Scale changes everything. It's possible to do things in a nation of only 7 million that isn't possible in a nation of more than 300 million.
Well, I know people like Wesley Snipes didn't just get a letter and report to jail. I am quite certain that someone showed up at his door, with a gun, and hauled him away. Maybe the gun wasn't pointed at him, but I'm sure it would have been, if he resisted.

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/16109063/ns/today-entertainmen...

(Note, I'm no advocate of tax cheats. I'm just saying that the end penalty is not "a bunch of letters from the IRS", it's a guy, or a team of people, showing up at your door with guns.)

Edit: OK maybe Snipes wasn't the best example, since he surrendered. But I bet he would have been hauled off, had he not surrendered.
I guess it is a matter of personal preference, but I see it as "why not?", especially because the THEOS environment variable is respected.
It's slightly more work, and devs are lazy?

Hashing doesn't really solve the entire problem, though it does prevent the service from getting addresses it doesn't already know. Allowing an app to see your contact list is an act of faith.

Maybe bloom filters can save us? :)
Your link isn't working for me. I'll test out some other browsers shortly. I'm surprised that Google wouldn't optimise the HTML5 player to fit YouTube considering they own both products.
It might be clearer if you just said the first lifetime $500k will cost you $60k in taxes and your next $500k would cost you $75k in taxes.
this might be because:
- its loading its own webkit/js lib
- it might be multiprocecss (is it?)

I'm wondering how much firefox nightly uses on your phone
I have had the same experience over a somewhat longer term. I am/was an autodidact most of my life. I learned programming and software engineering mostly by myself while pursuing an electrical major. I switched to software development as a job and learned a decent bit of algorithms and theory mostly due to interest and sometimes due to necessity.

After displaying great disdain towards structured education for the first 8 or so years of my career, I eventually decided to go back to school for a masters. Things were considerably harder; I discovered that there were parts of math and theory that I didn't quite "get". Often I had "seen" these during my studies, but hadn't looked at it in any detail because it didn't seem interesting for some reason or the other. I survived masters (and actually did quite well thanks to some guidance from professors and being well organized)

After another couple of years of working, I decided to do a phd and proceeded to discover in great detail the list of fundamental things I didn't understand about topics I thought I knew well. It took quite a while to cover that ground back.

Overall my experience has been that the purely interest driven approach I took is extremely valuable. But at the same time it makes one prone to fundamental gaps in understanding compared to a more systematic approach. (Just prone. It may not happen). I have found it valuable to realize this. Among other things it encourages me to continue poking at the subjects I care about.

Yes, you're missing that management gets to choose the "lockout period" before existing shareholders can cash out. Usually, management imposes a 6 month lockout period but exempts management (i.e., board or executives)

Mr. Zuck is management at Facebook.

As for the taxes, you're thinking of the imputed income from exercising options at below the market price of the shares when exercised (i.e., an option to buy a $10 share of PublicCo for only $2 is $8 in imputed income b/c you could then immediately sell the shares for $8 in gains).
The basic idea isn't unlike the "Battery mode" (which I think is part of the Motoblur stuff, not stock Honeycomb?):

I've known several bootstrapped startups that did pretty okay paying below-market wages to Engineers.

On the other hand, the Engineers taking those below-market wages? Their reward is usually something like market-rate salaries. It's a good deal for people that have been unemployed for a long time or that otherwise have a difficult time landing market-rate jobs, but for people that are both good and confident, it's a pretty bum deal.
You can contact Path and they will remove the data for you.
Do I understand this correctly? If an American sells an asset the day before he dies, he pays tax on it, but if his widow sells the exact same asset the day after he dies, she doesn't pay any taxes?

I think the colloquial phrase for that is "fucked up".

Sure, sure. But If you are a top-end Engineer that can land a top-end Engineer job /and/ can build and ship a product in a startup-like manner, there's zero reason for you to join a startup as an underpaid employee. If you want to do a startup and are willing to take a pay cut, once you are at that level, you should join as a founder.

I couldn't agree more. Having worked at a large law firm, and with an offer to work for one in the near future, I am amazed at the amount of "cut and paste" resources these law firms have available at their disposal (including research, memoranda,briefs, etc.). It's unthinkable how much work is replicated from law firm to law firm, although I understand liability concerns and the way these law firms are constituted which make solving this problem (and lawyers likely see this as substantially less of a problem, given that they get paid to do this) very challenging. This plus the fact that most large law firms I am aware of are practically institutionally opposed to change (like implementing new technologies that might make the firm more efficient, or permitting the sort of ideas we're discussing here). Part of it is how lawyers are trained, part of it is how law firms operate, part of it is grounded in liability concerns... but, given how badly this recession has hurt the legal market, I am optimistic that we will see lawyers and law firms change for the better in the years to come--it's just going to take deep-seated institutional changes to get there.
They aren't "constructive" from the point of view of the encumbants, who incidentally, have the largest capital for lobbying.

If we the public can somehow band together, the total lobbying power gained is actually higher, but obviously, people dont give a shit until it personally affects them. Hence, if the encumbants can slowly tweak the law, one painless step at a time, they will win.
How Kubuntu Did Not Change
How often is it that you want to perform this move (edit the character immediately above the cursor, but not in block mode)? If you're moving horizontally by a single space, you have backspace and delete for single-character moves (which are an edge case). If you're intending to add new content in a new line, why not <Esc>O?
I think they think they have optimized it. Chrome uses much less bandwidth for a partial play than the other browsers.
I have run into all the same problems, also I don't like the loss of full screen video. HTML5 video is simply not an adequate replacement for Flash, end of story.

I've found that many people who believe things work fine joined the HTML5 opt-in trial, but don't realize that HTML5 only works on some videos and Flash is still being used for others. Most videos seem to be only available in Flash even with the trial enabled. Right clicking on the video reveals which it is if there is any doubt.

A YouTube engineer discussed some of the issues a couple years back: http://apiblog.youtube.com/2010/06/flash-and-html5-tag.html. At the time Hulu had similar comments about HTML5 video capabilities: http://blog.hulu.com/2010/05/13/pardon-our-dust/. A more recent post from a few months ago by YouTube staff on the subject is here: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/11/youtubes-html5-play...
Oh good, so I'm not the only one with the caching issue! Wait, that's bad actually, haha. Were you using Chrome to test the cache? I'm going to try FireFox as well as that apparently hasn't had the buffering issue, so it may not have the caching issue either.

Weird that you don't have that resizing/offset issue when exiting fullscreen, but rather when toggling between video sizes. Everybody seems to be having different experiences.
Is anyone else finding this guy's site lags when scrolling? In Chrome any time the top banner is visible it lags. In Opera the whole page is unusable because to take 3-4 seconds to scroll,

Maybe I am misreading what you are saying, but I didn't say taxation was immoral. I said it's immoral for me to vote to impose a tax on someone else.

There's nothing inherently immoral about taxation, and certainly if I wanted to vote to impose a tax on myself, that wouldn't be immoral.

You make some interesting points, but it's exactly the "sanctioning by society" that I am questioning. Actually, what you may mean by "society" is "the majority". If everyone in a society agreed to something, then fine, you are not forcing someone to do something. But if not, then it's not "sanctioned by society", but rather sanctioned by a subset of society.

The US Constitution was written to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.
In the Mormon Church, tithing is required to attend services, and especially to use church facilities for major life events (i.e., weddings or baptisms). Effectively, tithing is a tax levied by the Mormon Church on Mormons.

Another nice feature would be to filter on Amazon Prime Unlimited.
So you've had that caching issue with Flash as well? I'm wondering if it's YouTube setting a limit to how much video can be downloaded in the case that the user clicks off the video early, thus saving bandwidth. If it is, then I simply won't be able to use YouTube HD anymore.

That's really good, re: multiple monitors. That's one thing that really bugged me about Flash.
hey may not be using it maliciously (I don't think they are either) but they should be handling our data more carefully. And it's possible that they may use this data in the future.

The part you should be worried about is the fact that they are taking the contact info of your friends and family. People who trusted you enough to give you their data. You/we the users should not get to make the judgement call as to whether or not we are going to give their data up.

Hmm, it might be that I've used two large background images plus transparency on top of them. I may have to re-design. Sorry about that. It's still a work in progress, actually, so if you change your browser width to below around 760px, the CSS should disappear.

You're right, it must be a Chrome issue. I just clicked your link and it worked this time the video is having the same jittery playback I experience on YouTube's HTML5 player.
Came across as arrogant to me as well, though I agree with the mentality that a startup needs to find people that have built their own apps, tools, whatever on their own. Nothing is more valuable than having someone who can get stuff done.
this is at once the best thing i've ever read by esr, and also a perfect explanation of how open source's image will always remain on top of free software's.

the second part didn't occur to me until i read through it again, but esr himself has been putting rms and (much less appropriately) anyone that sees value in his perspective in an anti-theistic kafkatrap, an especially damning and potent snare considering that both esr and rms are atheists. that kind of diabolical abuse has soured me on esr forever, but i admire how brilliantly he explains it.
The most frustrating part is not that he would say those things, but that he would now post it publicly. It almost feels like he is bragging. "Look, Microsoft engineers want to be at my company! Look, I am talking down to them and turning them away!"
GE has and will pay large amounts of corporate income tax. GE paid no corporate income tax in 2010 due to a variety of special situations (including the 2008 meltdown of their finance business), and it was widely reported in the news. Since more normal tax years don't make the news, this has led many people like yourself to erroneously think some corporations don't pay income taxes.
Does this affect read speed at all? The article only mentions write speed.
For the majority of his life, until the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Warren Buffet's "tax skirting" still meant paying more than 25% rates on his income.

Effective tax rates (accounting for inflation) now are lower than they were at any time since 1913 (i.e., since we've had income taxes).
People thought something as complicated as an Operating System couldn't be written by volunteers also, because volunteerism doesn't scale.

> Where exactly is the unfairness in taxing wealthier people at the same percentage as middle class and others?

I have no issue with cutting the middle class tax. The false premise in the article leads people to the false conclusion that the only solution is to raise the tax on the wealthy.

I agree with you. The post read to me to be an elaborate fantasy constructed in the author's imagination justifying why his firm was hot stuff for offering severely below market wages.

I wonder if he also sends emails like this to fresh graduates. You know, the kind of people who don't have any experience building and managing a product from top to bottom, but also don't have 10 years of experience at Microsoft.
