Just curious, what specifically is the indicator that a person doesn't care for the company? I didn't get that impression from reading the GP.

Is it not paying attention to the news cycle? Or knowing that the company is on a bad trajectory but still working there? Surely it's not the focus on work-life balance.

I could see myself working at Yahoo. I bet they still have interesting problems to work on. Yahoo Research does awesome stuff with computational advertising. Hypothetically speaking, would this opinion disqualify me from your hiring consideration?
To be fair to MS, there's lots of interesting stuff going on there. I have a friend who's working on the .NET CLR, and it would be foolish to think that he's not working on extremely awesome stuff.

At the same time, I don't know of anything like that at all going on at Yahoo. And he doesn't go home at 5pm.
Looked great until the marketing slide. Are you saying the size of your market is 23.7 billion users?
0. I really like your background.

1. I think all your icons should have the same color shade. I thought the + sign was something special at first glance(functionally).

2. The layout could be closer to how the page is traversed visually. to view the benefits,i have to look at all four corners first. a sample ex:

< all your icons in one line with names below>

< pitch text>

<signup/call to action>

3. I agree with dwynings that the text is hard to read due to shadow/font choice

4. Don't know which call to action is better: build a library or connect with artists. having both dilutes the value proposition. Maybe some A/B testing would be in order.
In public lectures by AWS employees they have clearly described their infrastructure as 1U-based.

They've also described their infrastructure as consisting of racks of 20 servers + a switch, and shown photos of racks full of 2U servers. My guess is that they have multiple generations of hardware.
Monads and Curry - We're hiring Haskell hackers (YC S11)

- Understand that winning teams can often be intense.

- Act quickly when confronted by hard, new problems.

- Routinely hack on undocumented libraries.

- Want to build cool stuff and push yourself.

- Live in or around San Francisco. (Or willing to relocate within the US.)

This is an early hire and comes with all the associated benefits: lots of stock, sunny office, and brilliant people.

If you'd like to hear more, send a link to your favorite web-based DVCS profile to: haskellhackers@gmail.com
And considering the location (Texas), a slogan of "Lamar sold you out for big government" would have been much more effective and achieved the same goal. We have to remember that we are targeting people who may or may not give a shit about internet (and people who cares will hopefully vote the right way)..
Yahoo Patent Thoughts
The link currently redirects to a page that asks for my email, and the "skip this step" button doesn't work. This is a bit frustrating.
If the browser knows that the tabs.html is a reusable component that does not have changing content, it can cache it very intelligently. Also if someone builds a tabs component and hosts it on foo.com/999/tabs.html (CDN) which you use, your visitors may already have it downloaded and cached.

So I think in the long run, something like this would be a better solution.

These seem to be from an interesting time period, the warm period during the stone ages just prior to the younger dryas mini-ice age. Also just right up against the boundary of the transition of humans into far more advanced technology including agriculture and animal husbandry. I wonder if they died out due to the onset of harsher climatic conditions or due to being outcompeted by humans at the dawn of civilization.

which can happen on a winning streak - stats works that way. $2M is only a part of the $15M he took the casinos for. If he's playing on 'their money' - that is, he's already ahead, he can keep playing until the streak turns.
No, it's not. It's a debate commonly held when people claim to be innocent of the actions of an institution that they were a part of, and the source of modern debates about the ethics that apply are sourced in the writings of Arendt about the subject. You're not the only person in the room that realizes that Yahoo aren't the Nazis, Facebook aren't the victims of WWII, and Yammer certainly isn't Nurnburg, so cut the name calling and histrionics.

Just because naked mole rats aren't ants doesn't mean you can't refer to ants when talking about them, silly.

Closed shops are perfectly legal in the US. Only 23 states in the US have right-to-work laws.

"Errr. Unions don't stop employees from changing jobs or spending their money how they want. I don't understand where you get this from at all."

Unions demand (in closed shops) from employees to give them part of the money as dues, and compel them to participate in union activities (such as strikes, etc.). It is true they do not limit how they rest of the money is spent - but I never claimed they take all the freedoms away. I claimed they limit them - by requiring payments and forcing to take part in their actions.

"Part of the freedom to negotiate conditions is the freedom (non-compulsory) to allow a union to negotiate on your behalf"

This is true, however in many union shops you do not have this choice. You either accept collectively bargaining conditions or you can not be hired. You can not just come to your employer and negotiate separately. Appointing somebody to negotiate on your behalf does not limit freedom, giving him exclusive right to negotiate - and that's how many unions are working in the US - does.
iPhone 4S here; def some cray JS on that page.
Sure he has disdain for the bad design that is Android, but he objectively has described why that is so over the years. That he dislikes Android, which clearly has a different design approach to Apple and Microsoft, doesn't make him a fan boy of Apple. If he didn't acknowledge the good design coming out of Microsoft these days, then you could argue that he blindly favors Apple. Perhaps you also refer to the drama that has developed from the competition between Google and Apple, and his criticisms of this, and of "don't be evil," etc; design and company culture can't be separated, and so it makes sense for him to approach that topic too. Just consider hiring practices at Google --- do applicants get evaluated for algorithmic abilities alone, or is there something more? Culture is important.

I have no idea where you got the idea that I want people to be burned like charcoal. I'm absolutely not in favor of that. Work hours are the least important factor in why I wouldn't hire the theoretical employee you described. It's the lack of ambition- the lack of enthusiasm towards the field.

In a startup you can't have unambitious employees- regardless of how talented they are. You have to have people who challenge the way things are done or the company will grow stagnant and won't seize opportunities to pivot.

I think people should care. If you spend half of your waking life at work, you should be proud of what you do and the people you work with. Pride in your work is one of the single largest contributors to happiness (more so than family, but that is largely tangential to the point).

Quite frankly I don't think that most of the people left at Yahoo care. If they cared, or had ambition, or had enthusiasm towards the web, they would leave.
Ping don doesn't render the page in a browser. Use webpagetest.org instead :)

An interesting note. Typekit (the embedded font webservice) went done for all my site while I was using the google DNS. After reverting to my ISP DNS, I was able to have the typekit service work.

It's not that. I wrote a fairly complex piece of code in, of all things, TSQL, and as the logic was unfortunately in the stored procedures and functions I actually found that the unit tests I did for the more granular functions saved me a lot of time. This was because I would make a change to the logic of a function that other functions/procs relied on and the. All of a sudden I would find that a whole bunch of tests on functions that worked before started failing. I'd never have known this without the tests that DID work previously. Saved me a lot of time I can tell you :-)

I wonder how many people wanting Israeli-style airport security really have any idea just what they're asking for.
While I agree that a lot of stuff the TSA does is incredibly stupid (and this new deal isn't exactly a paragon of security), I'm seeing a lot of random meta-FUD here. If you actually read the entire article, you will notice a few things:

1) Domestic precheck clearance is free, not $100.
2) International precheck is $100.
3) It is a slight return to 'normalcy' (for some definition of normal), albeit for only a few people for now.

It is at least SOMEWHAT a step in a sort-of right direction (not #2, paying $100 for this is bullshit), instead of the typical step in the complete wrong direction we've been seeing from TSA.

I can hope, at least, that it will allow some of the people at TSA to see a graceful exit from their strategy of pointless security theater, and a return to cheaper, similarly effective screening.

There is a major creep factor with the application you have to fill out though. It's essentially all the information you have to give for a basic background check - 5 years of address and employment information, the works. Also their website is unbelievably poorly formatted, slow, and seems to randomly crash. Bleh.
Which leads directly to another opportunity for Blueseed to bring in revenue, if you catch my meaning. Imagine: for an extra $500/month you could have one or two nights of 'companionship' with a lady brought in from shore.
I don't think the exclusivity was a long-term strategy, but rather a natural progression from its beginning as a site for Harvard undergrads. It was really useful at providing specific needs for college students at the start. It was easy to find who was in your classes so you could ask for homework help or invite people to work on a group project back when everybody listed their classes through Facebook's central app. But after it opened up to everybody and a whole bunch of apps appeared, there were multiple competing class-listing apps with no clear winner and you needed to use all of them if you wanted to see everybody in the class. It became less convenient and most students no longer bothered to list their classes at all.

Once Facebook understood the appeal the site had to the general population, they realized that it would be better for them to create an ecosystem where network effects were optimized for the decentralized user base as a whole rather than the centralized subnetworks that made the site take off in the first place. At each step, they focused on what worked for the users at the time.

Google+, on the other hand, really did deliberately start out as an exclusive network, largely for people in the tech world, and it hoped to quickly transform into something with universal appeal. You can draw your own conclusions about how well that worked.
Advantages of Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing is one of the best ways a business can understand its target audience via their comments and responses. It is clearly a better tool for businesses.
I skimmed over the comments, and I'm surprised to see no mention of it here. Maybe I missed it.

The house always wins, and they still won. This is, for each of them at just a few million, very cheap advertising. Consider how poker/holdem was hyped during the last decade, this is just the same in a different setting.

They will easily win those few millions each back and more. For every smart person such as this guy, there are thousands of idiots out there. The article itself mentions they're trying to lure in high-rollers. This looks rather obvious.

Thus, the title, how Atlantic City supposedly "got broke" by a man, seems very misleading in this context.

Still, maybe I'm missing something here.
No, my definition of freedom is not "odd", yours is. You are confusing "free" with "comfortable" - you can be perfectly comfortable (highly paid, well fed and cared for, respected, etc.) and be a slave (look into the ancient world - famous Aesop, for example, was a slave), or be completely free and be a penniless hobo. Freedom has nothing to do with salary. You can say you would gladly give up your freedom for a decent wage and union lawyers - fine, it's your choice. But you can not make this choice for anybody else. That's their freedom.
This article is bogus. Nowhere in the original G+ article does the author suggest that Chrome would switch to using Google's public DNS resolvers by default, which is what she implies.

And then she throws in the spurious claim "there is very little to stop Google should it decide there is a compelling need to closely inspect unencrypted packets hitting its DNS servers" which is absurd considering their DNS resolvers are obviously already doing exactly that in order to respond to the DNS queries! Ridiculous. But it all suffices to set up the obligatory Facebook competition angle.

And mainstream media outlets wonder why they're struggling...
I find posts like this and the OP to be great posturing for the internet masses and really silly. 99% of us out there who work for a company larger than some small startup can find policies or things we don't agree with in our corporate bureaucracy. So we all should be self employed, unemployed or work for a company of < 10 people until we find The One Righteous Company?
Can anyone make an estimate on how much that would cost?
as bostonvaulter noted below, i don't think it's so much about illumination on the issue (given there is only a billboard to work with). i think the idea is finding whatever will be the best vector for further news articles about the issue, local and national.

It's not this particular issue. I don't care all that much about patents. It's mostly that Yahoo has been a zombie corporation for a long while and has key symptoms of not being able to foster creativity or innovation.

There may be interesting things going on inside Yahoo, but I'm not aware of them. Every single thing that I found interesting about Yahoo has withered or completely died in the last 5+ years.
You're simply measuring passion in a different way. The (very, very small number of) people who can do this are very passionate about the work, as we both know, and this shines through in the work they do in and out of the day job.

But let's say you saw someone that was coming from a security consultancy that started doing interesting, challenging work and then turned into a shop doing nothing but the same web pentests day in and day out. Don't you think you'd seriously question whether they're capable of doing the challenging work, or still hungry for that kind of work? I know I'd think twice about it. I think that's why people are so against the people left at Yahoo; it's a company that's been on a downward trajectory for a long while, and is actively doing Bad Things (TM). It's not unreasonable to expect that someone that's ok with that (or blind to it) isn't going to be a fantastic hire, but that doesn't mean there aren't certainly exceptions.

But surely if you have written a unit of code, you should at least know a. What valid input the code should have, b. what output the code should return, and c. What you want he code to do! If you know these things, then wouldn't it be easy enough to write tests for at least these conditions?

> Brands are built by third party validation, not by your own claims.

I actually think what a company claims about itself is tremendously important, but not because people believe it, rather because it influences how people frame their ideas. It's like the public are viewing you through a magnifying lens and what you can influence is where the lens points. What is actually seen through the lens is then what you really do.

So claiming something about yourself that is authentically true and then behaving genuinely in accordance with that is quite powerful. But you can't fake it, you have to really do it. Claiming G+ is about privacy and then doing things like forcing real names and public profiles is extremely harmful (and not just to G+, but the whole Google brand).

Google has to figure out the good things that are really true about themselves and then talk about those. If they can't think of anything then they have to really take a serious think about where the company is heading.

You would still die, just after being humiliated and while clutching a penny. It would be a bad decision to do anything for a penny when you were making nothing, and the person who got you do do it would be a bad person. So, as a society, we choose an amount (not a factor of previous earnings) that is minimally acceptable to us, and if that wage is too high to be profitable for anyone, we prefer (and I prefer) that we just help and not profit. That's a social safety net.

Basically you've already conceded that, we're just discussing the amount (to paraphrase something else). I feel it's already been adequately set by law.

But still, if this 95% of what you type is code, it takes much, much more time to type it than if it was a free-form text.

In other words, it means that 'if 99.9% of the time you spend typing isn't spent on typing code, you're doing it wrong'. Or at least I understood it this way.

I've gone through PreCheck at ATL. Nothing on my BP said PreCheck. Part of the qualifications that the article didn't mention is that certain high level elites are eligible, so it might be whatever designator determines that status.

Right, so people are often really bad at interpreting studies.

But in the case of this article, there is an obvious causal mechanism between eating beef and increasing your risk of heart disease. In fact, we don't need a study to tell us that. Beef, especially the kind of corn-fed beef that's very popular in the U.S. which comes from cattle who are confined to tiny living quarters throughout their lives, has a much higher concentration of saturated fat than, say, chicken. And we've consistently observed that consuming large amounts of saturated fat increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. So eating a lot of beef increases your saturated fat intake, which increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. How is that hocus pocus?
I have a, possibly naive, question for Americans: Why isn't this a political issue? From all I read, TSA seems to be universally loathed. Then it should be easy to change in a democracy. Why is it so hard?

Such are the vagaries of being a large corporation -- your various departments' goals become increasingly at odds with one another. The Android team wants their platform to be successful. Part of that means not releasing top-tier applications for competing platforms. Gmail wants their service to be successful. Part of that means releasing top-tier applications for as many platforms as possible.

It's clear, here, that Google places Gmail below Android in their list of priorities. I'm curious about which one of those departments earns more money, though, and which one is more strategically important for the long-term success of Google.

John Siracusa explains this same scenario as it appears to be happening at Apple extremely well in this episode of his fantastic podcast: http://5by5.tv/hypercritical/8
