That's a bit unfair.

The OP uses the word "we" implying some sort of team decision. And asks for references, implying this is still under research.

Putting your Myers-Briggs personality type in your CV suggests to me that you probably believe in horoscopes, too. At the very least, you think it's relevant somehow and reflects positively on you (or why would you include it?). It's twee, self-indulgent, and pseudo-science - I want more from my developers.

The Flame (Duqu-, Stuxnet-related malware): Questions and Answers
Author of the accepted answer here. You can block GA without breaking sites by using the GA Opt Out plugin in this specific case https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

The reason is that blocking the domain in your hosts file will prevent the functions from ever loading, and so something like this (the standard code for doing cross-domain tracking):

<a href="http://thirdpartycheckoutsite.com" onclick="_gaq.push(["_link"]); return false"></a>

Will cause _gaq to simply add an array with a single element, a string that says "_link", and then return false, preventing the site from completing the default action. This is because ga.js never loads, so it never executes the queue of functions and never converts gaq.push into a non-native function. So, you'll click the link, and nothing happens.

(I actually abhor the practice of doing this this way, because it's so easily breakable, but this is the "recommended" way of faciltating cross domain tracking)

If you use one of the "official" Google opt-out plugins, it'll load ga.js, but it'll block any information from being sent about you to Google, it'll block Google Analytics cookies from being sent, and it won't break any site functionality.

How to Throw a Party Like the Queen
I saw a couple of these a while ago at London Luton airport. Personally, I found the experience profoundly dehumanizing, and thought it rather depressing to be talked to by a life-sized, talking, cardboard cut-out.

It's a neat idea for sure, but my preference is for, well, anything that doesn't look so human and yet so fake at the same time.
Apple advertises their retina display with "you can't see any pixels". The S3 nearly has the same ppi (306 vs. 320), yet people complain about how they are somehow able to distinguish the subpixels? Something does not add up here.
Ah, didn't get the reference, nor notice the link.

I'm not saying it's definitely something to avoid, maybe you only want to be hired to people who get the reference, or maybe you only want to be hired by people who, without getting the reference, don't instantly think "lazy = terrible!" (I fall into the latter camp).
With wireless speeds approaching the speeds of most wired carriers this makes sense. Build for the future vs putting a huge investment into a plant that isn't really scalable.

That has nothing to do with threads vs events at all. It is Zed going "I am going to make up some imaginary fallacies about poll and epoll and then prove them wrong, by proving epoll does exactly what it says it does". These are both ways of checking file descriptors for activity, which says nothing about threads vs event loops vs cps.
Well theoretically that shouldn't be possible. Someone else should be there to expand supply and drive down your margins. Speaking on a macro level ef4 is right.
Nice. Now if only they updated their desktop monitor range too, that would be something. They're all stuck at 1080p regardless of size.
I also owned an original Galaxy. It was by far the worst phone I ever owned, and I vowed to never own another Samsung phone again.

True to form, when the Galaxy Nexus came out I bought that. It's definitely streets ahead of the original device and I have faith that this one will receive updates during my contract.

However, that first Galaxy phone will always be in the back of my mind, and I truly believe that the first Galaxy would have turned a lot of initial Android users over to the iPhone.

> I expect that in its heyday, Detroit's auto industry had a similar synergy.

It certainly did. Unfortunately, the most innovative idea to come out of the autombile industry - the assembly line - had the subsequent effect of destroying innovative learning and thinking on a vast scale. Detroit became a one-industry city and that industry demanded a large, mostly unskilled workforce inimical to the kind of entrepreneurial activity that might otherwise have diversified Detroit's economy.
To be fair, he did ask for "references to good constructive material" rather than just "something someone said on Hacker News". They were looking for sources that discuss the issue, rather than someone on HN to give them the answer straight out.

No, at worst an EU state might block your website.

But that won't happen either: it's a law that applies to EU companies with a website. Your company might have to worry a little if they chose to incorporate in Europe.
If your friend needed people ready to work 80hr weeks in Startup Crunch mode, in exchange for 32k + eventual equity, and hired people who wanted 9-to-5, he is a horrible recruiter or a terrible leader. Don't get me wrong: lots of people here are angry at the situation and will act pissy and self-entitled. But good engineers are still not cheap, and motivating them takes a lot more than "at least you have a job".

Anyway, happy it worked out for your friend. Yay for outsourcing!
This is the deciding factor for me. I won't do a non-Nexus device again. I'm currently on Verizon, and the jury is still out on whether I actually have a Nexus in name only, or not. We'll see. It's more than 5 months since I got my device and still no 4.0.4 update (4.0.2 came out on launch day and it has bugs). Next time, I might go GSM w/T-Mobile (if they're still around in 1.5 years) so I can get a true Nexus device that is updated directly from Google's servers.

Pricing As A Product Feature
It seems to me like the Smart Phone Market is already hitting a plateau.

Having gone through a number of devices over the years, I couldn't disagree more. Screens have gotten tremendously better, performance has improved by leaps and bounds, and connectivity has exploded. Even the touchscreen sensor on a current phone is a world better than a two year old device (well if we're speaking about non-iPhone. Apple had a pretty good sensor two years ago).

I'd say your lack of inclination to upgrade says more about you than devices. Not as an insult, but you just don't rely upon it as a principal device like many. Mine because essentially a portable computer and I am very excited about each new iteration.
I'm from boston and visited san francisco. Public Works with dj harvey until 4am. Would never, ever, happen in boston.
Same experience. I had the first iPhone and I was happy when it was upgraded by Apple very often and with new features. I depended only on Apple. Now I wait for the Android 4 upgrade for Movistar! Movistar depends on Samsung and Samsung depends on Google. Ah! and we need to wait because Movistar is branding the UI. For Android 3 they even removed the browser icon! if you want to launch the browser you need to go to the search page first.

btw I am not an Apple fan.
"I was thinking about switching to fad software X" is generally not a good line of thought. Why do you want to switch? Node.js doesn't offer parallelism, so it is obviously not a good choice for your app.

And "threads" is two things. There's programming in a threaded style, and there's using native operating system threads. They don't have to go together. For example, if you use a green thread library, you end up with the exact same benefits and limitations as an event loop, but with simpler, easier to understand code. A really good thread library could then handle multiplexing green threads over OS threads to get you parallelism too (see haskell).

No, I didn't even know about that crash, reading the reports it apparently involved 4 cars, and the AI Prius running into the back of the car in front of it. Obviously, Google declared afterwards that it was driven by a human at that time, and that the crash was due to human error. What else would you expect them to do? There's no way to verify Google's statement, and why would anyone want to anyway, blaming it on one of the Google employees that are still required to be in the Google vehicles works out much better for every party involved in such an incident, and for Google in particular.

The incident I was referring to was a video of a Google AI car doing laps on a small test track that they set up on a parking lot. The car basically missed a turn and left the track, hit the brakes and skid into a car parked next to the track. Somehow (coincidentally?) the video is nowhere to be found using Google, but I remember watching it like it was yesterday. You could see 2 Google employees chatting a bit next to the track until the car crashed in the background and they got pretty upset.

Just to make myself clear: I'm not trying to talk down the great achievements Google has made with their driverless cars, I'm just a little sceptic about how far they actually are if you strip down all the PR coming from Google.
But it was interesting that he saw them as being portable "decks," which sounded like laptops with sophisticated graphics capabilities.

Indeed. I'm working with a company here in Uruguay that can give you a pretty good website (with CMS, e-commerce and whatever you need) in 3 days, for probably a lot lower wage than the grandparent poster. And they complain (rightfully) that they can't compete with India shops.

What's his added value? In an Internet world, all such work where the customer doesn't see his added value (other than "buy american" or some such) should go to the country with cheapest skilled labor. Unless he's working in person and gives that as his added value (neither the Indians nor my Uruguayan friends will be able to compete then).
This line of reasoning is fallacious. See the following graph:

http://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2012/human_vs_machine_prog...

So far, we've invented whole new things to work on. There is no compelling reason to believe that will continue to happen.

Incidentally, that scenario hasn't always left biological entities better off. When technology reduced the wages for travel below the level of horse subsistence, the result was massive deaths among horses. But humans are special, right? That can't ever happen to us.

As far as I know, this is mostly about avoiding monocultures, about chemicals and about genetic manipulation. And maybe animal welfare. It never occured to me that this is about machines. Am I missing something?
Makes me wonder if crop circles were the remnants of some sort of solar energy-tapping constructions.
It's a refreshing take on the standard developer white-dress-shirt-no-tie-and-slacks resume, but I abhor the phrase "clean code". It's self-important and utterly meaningless given that code you write will be picked over by multiple people throughout the lifetime of the software. Instead, I personally value developers who understand effective abstraction.
Information overload! What I prefer is the bottom part, with your photo, and where you focus more on the customer + contact info.

I would probably put that at the top, and consider the rest are details for the interested visitor.

I find it strange the binary Weak/Strong AI assumption so many people hold. What about medium AI? Or Not So Weak AI, Or 0.23 Strong AI? Presumably, each level of Not so strong AI will help to lessen the gap between the then current AI and Strong AI.

And I am not talking about recursive self improving AI growth - just that each additional improvement in Nonhuman intelligence increases the total intellectual efficiency of humanity and that these benefits are multiplicative.

Why is it so difficult for hardware manufacturers to refrain from putting their poor attempts to improve stock android on their devices

In the <Android 2.3 era those skins were critical in making the operating system usable. I would argue that they still offer huge value for an average consumer.

There is a world of hundreds of millions of smartphone users who are not like the people who visit HN. Who appreciate when they have a camera and information on the lockscreen, a quick selector in the drag down, and on and on. Little things added first in skins, improving the Android experience. That isn't me or you, but good god the boring "stock Android or GTFO" comments need to stop. They are ignorant and detached from reality.

That's true for certain feature requests, but we're targeting support problems with this particular sheet. It's best not to assume that the customer is 'stupid' and instead see them on the same level as them, it's all about a mindset. If you go in with the customer is always wrong you won't go that extra step to try and help them, more dismiss them.

As an EU resident and webmaster of several sites for myself and clients. I see little benefit to my visitors other than causing me a lot of grief over trying to follow guidelines and hoping my implementation doesn't break them.

I was speaking to a client about it today, he hasn't seen anything about it and I doubt many small business owners have seen (or cared) much about it.

I'm kind of playing in the same space, although I tend to be more a hardware/assembler guy. Im currently prototyping with nodejs and C/C++ with inline assembler for AVX crunching.

I would view Node.js as an effective tool for leveraging js/v8. What's attractive for me when prototyping is throwing js/HTML UI over the top without having to switch gears. Look at raw node as an IO multiplexer and dispatcher but not a compute capable platform. The GC is weak for large data sets and the CPU efficiency is extremely poor for any heavy processing - very hard to manage your cache lines efficiently. Node sweet spot is packet and stream switching in webby stacks where the solid http, ssl and so forth are invaluable. Check out fabric (I forget the name) if you want to look at extracting more from JavaScript.

Suggest you check out LMAX and kx systems. And think how close you can get to a pure event sourced or stream processing model.

You will need the equivalent of one thread per (hyper)core to maximise effective instructions per clock - whether you need to do that will depend on your sustained memory bandwidth. So there a few C/C++ threads is not necessarily
a bad thing.

Its possible to build a world class system in erlang with custom DSP, FPGA logic or using a GPU farm if you have the budget. This is the approach I would use if you have millions of decision sources.

If you want to maximise performance on x86 with a simple code base - and leverage SIMD it's hard to beat a combination of intel fortran and intel C/C++ compiler. You can roll your own messaging layer and put the compute node code in fortran - where you'll get great AVX throughput out of ifort.
You're both right.

"Every model is wrong, but some are useful"

While it's technically correct that the customer is not always right. It is useful to push this mindset on employees who directly interact with costumers. Leaving to your employees to figure the gray areas by themselves my cause you a larger net headache than telling them there's no exceptions, when it might not always be true.

The ideals of a crazy person like me would be "hike up the minimum wage insanely high, pry money from the pockets of the wealthy"...

Ignoring the normative reasons why one might oppose this, how would it even work practically?

At the level of most of us, wealth is a claim on consumption. So redistribution of wealth among the middle class does enable redistribution of consumption

At the level of rich people, it isn't - wealth represents the ability to direct productive enterprise (e.g., the ability to tell Facebook to do more photo sharing or invade privacy more). Suppose you were to tax Zuckerberg or Ellison and then redistribute, and now every American owns a couple of shares of Facebook and Oracle. How will this enable you to increase the consumption of the lower classes?
Just what we goddamn need. More "user psychology" distilled down into a short list without any discussion of what it means to make good software, encourage good behavior, or contribute something meaningful to a user's life.
